The Release That Heals

What does it mean to truly forgive? In Episode 13, Karrie walks us through the act of forgiveness and reveals God's plan for bringing freedom to us through this often misunderstood step in healing.

We learn that forgiveness is not a quick transaction. When we offer forgiveness to others we aren’t erasing the wrongs they have done to us. And when others forgive us, the pain we’ve caused isn’t magically forgotten. True forgiveness is part of a longer process of healing. A total heart transformation that comes through the steps of naming, grieving, repenting and finding gratitude, and from that process flows a supernatural forgiveness from within us and re-anchors us to God. It is in the deepening of our relationship with God that we begin to know and feel His love for us and His forgiveness for us, and in turn we become free to forgive others.

Karrie explains true forgiveness breaks the ongoing power that an action had over us and brings to light our own sinful acts so that we can now begin to see with a more compassionate perspective.
