God,How Do I Forgive?
God, How Do I Forgive?
💔 A Conversation Between the Soul and God
Me:
God… how do I forgive?
They say I have to , that there is no peace without forgiveness.
But how do I let go of something carved so deeply inside me?
The wounds still hurt, even after all these years.
Does forgiveness mean that what they did doesn’t matter anymore?
How do I forgive when it still hurts?
God:
My child, forgiveness doesn’t mean forgetting , it means allowing Me to heal what you cannot.
Forgiveness doesn’t erase the truth about what happened;
it removes the power that pain has over your heart.
When you choose to forgive, you’re not saying what happened was okay.
You’re saying, “Enough , this will not wound me anymore.”
You’re not excusing their actions , you’re freeing your own soul.
Me:
But Lord… what if I can’t?
What if every time I remember, the wound opens again?
What if I forgive, but they never apologize, never change, never regret it?
God:
Forgiveness isn’t between you and them , it’s between you and Me.
You forgive not because they deserve peace,
but because you deserve freedom.
I know it hurts.
I know you’ve cried in secret, lost trust,
and wondered if you’d ever be able to love again.
But hear Me when you hand Me your pain, I turn it into testimony.
The same wounds that once bled will become windows through which My light shines.
Testimony: When I Thought I Couldn’t Forgive
There was a time I believed forgiveness was impossible.
I carried bitterness like a shield -
I thought if I forgot, it meant what they did no longer mattered.
But in truth, I was just dragging my own chains and calling them protection.
For years I prayed, “God, help me forgive.”
And one day, exhausted, I whispered,
“God, forgive through me, because I can’t.”
Something shifted.
Not right away but slowly, quietly, deeply.
The pain started to lose its grip.
I didn’t forget, but it didn’t sting the same.
I learned that forgiveness isn’t a feeling
it’s a decision that God keeps alive in me, day after day, as I let Him work in my heart.
Me:
But God, what if they keep doing the same things?
What if they still hurt me?
Does forgiving mean I have to go back to the place that broke me?
God:
No, My child.
Forgiveness and reconciliation are not the same.
You can forgive and still walk away.
You can forgive and set boundaries.
Forgiving doesn’t mean going back into pain
it means not carrying it with you anymore.
Forgiveness is a journey toward freedom.
It’s that moment when you say:
“Lord, take this out of my hands.”
And then I take it.
And I carry it.
Because you were never meant to carry what only I can heal!!!
God’s View of Forgiveness
God:
Remember My Son.
On the cross betrayed, mocked, in agony He said:
“Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.”
Forgiveness is the highest thing a person can give,
because in that moment, you look most like Me.
When you forgive, you don’t become weak
you become free.
Your forgiveness doesn’t depend on their confession,
but on your decision to let Me be the Judge not you.
🌸 Testimony: When I Finally Understood Freedom
There was a moment I thought I had forgiven , but I hadn’t.
I was still replaying the scenes,
still trying to prove that I had been right.
One night, as I prayed, I felt these words in my heart:
“If I, your God, don’t ask you to prove your innocence,
why do you keep trying?”
I broke down in tears.
And I realized I didn’t have to be a prisoner of my past anymore.
I forgave, not because they deserved it,
but because I wanted to be free.
And for the first time in years,
I could breathe without bitterness.
Me:
God… so forgiveness isn’t the end it’s the beginning?
God:
Yes, My child.
Forgiveness is the beginning of healing.
It’s the moment when your wounds stop controlling you
and My love starts flowing freely through you.
Every time you forgive, your spirit grows.
Every decision to love despite the pain builds a bridge between you and Me.
So when you say, “God, I can’t forgive,”
I say, “I know but I can, in you.”
You don’t have to understand everything.
You don’t have to forget.
Just let Me be greater than your wound.
And when it hurts again, simply whisper:
“God, do it in me again.”
Because forgiveness isn’t a single act -it’s a walk.
And every step you take toward forgiveness, leads you closer to Me.
