  Holding onto offense feels powerful at first, like you're
• 0:04
  protecting yourself, like you're keeping the record straight.
• 0:09
  But eventually you realize something.
• 0:12
  The person who hurt you moved on, and you are the 1 still
• 0:17
  carrying the weight. Today's scripture is coming from
• 0:21
  Colossians chapter #3 verse 13. And this is the NIV.
• 0:24
  And it reads, Forgive one another.
• 0:27
  If any of you has a grievance against someone, forgive as the
• 0:32
  Lord forgave you. Let's go deeper.
• 0:37
  Forgiveness is often misunderstood.
• 0:41
  People think forgiveness means approval, like you're saying
• 0:44
  what happened was OK, but forgiveness is not approval,
• 0:49
  it's release. David understood this.
• 0:53
  He was overlooked by his father, mocked by his brother, haunted
• 0:58
  by Saul. He had legitimate reasons to be
• 1:01
  bitter. But bitterness is expensive.
• 1:05
  It taxes your peace, it drains your clarity, and it traps your
• 1:10
  future inside someone else's mistake.
• 1:13
  David refused that trap from a divine perspective.
• 1:17
  From a divine perspective, emotional poison disrupts your
• 1:22
  balance and character. When resentment sets too long,
• 1:27
  it distorts your internal harmony.
• 1:31
  From another divine perspective, Wisdom teaches that carrying
• 1:34
  anger too long is like holding fire in your own hands.
• 1:39
  The burn belongs to you. Forgiveness doesn't mean you
• 1:44
  restore access. Forgiveness doesn't mean you
• 1:47
  trust them again. Forgiveness doesn't erase
• 1:51
  accountability. It simply means this.
• 1:55
  You refuse to let their actions become your identity.
• 1:59
  You release the office so it stops occurring and occupied in
• 2:03
  your mind. Because the truth is,
• 2:06
  unforgiveness doesn't punish them.
• 2:08
  It imprisons you. And the moment you release it,
• 2:12
  something shifts. Your mind gets lighter, your
• 2:16
  spirit gets clearer, your future gets wider.
• 2:20
  Forgiveness isn't weakness, it's emotional sovereignty.
• 2:26
  And here says reflection moment. Think about this today.
• 2:29
  What offense have I been playing that no longer deserves his?
• 2:33
  What would my life look like if I release the weight today and
• 2:39
  he would say separation? Repeat this after me.
• 2:41
  I release what no longer serves my peace.
• 2:44
  I forgive so I can move forward. My future is bigger than my
• 2:50
  words. I remain free.
• 2:53
  And here's today's prayer. God, thank you for the ability
• 2:58
  to forgive and to be forgiven. Give us a strength to release
• 3:02
  what has weighed our staff. Help us to move forward with
• 3:07
  clarity, peace, and wisdom. Let me choose freedom over
• 3:10
  bitterness. Thank you for making sure that
• 3:14
  we always try and and even though we cannot erase what has
• 3:17
  happened with the long friend, thank you for giving us wisdom
• 3:20
  and releasing it in every phase of our life bringing clarity and
• 3:24
  understanding. We honor you for all of these
• 3:26
  things and thank you for protection our loved ones and
• 3:28
  everyone who is near and dear to our heart.
• 3:30
  And we expect all of these And am I to the same of Jesus the
• 3:33
  Christ I gave you. Amen.
• 3:35
  God bless you all. I love you and I hope you have a
• 3:38
  fantastic day. Y'all take care.
• 3:42
  One last thought. Forgiveness doesn't change the
• 3:45
  past, but it completely changes who carries the future.
