Forgiveness: On a Journey Towards Healing

$0.00

“But what if he doesn’t deserve forgiveness?”
“How on earth do I forgive someone who has done horrific things to me?”
“Where do I start when there is nothing within me that feels able to (or let’s be honest, really wants to…) forgive?”

At Restored Home, we hear these questions every day. Forgiveness feels like the most unfair, unnatural, and impossible step after betrayal and loss of trust. Why do you think forgiveness lands so painfully on broken hearts?

Forgiveness: On a Journey Towards Healing is a 94-page devotional workbook for those struggling to forgive. This devotional works through passages in the Bible and features writings, questions for journaling, quotes, poignant photographs, practical application, and lots more.

When it comes to my own heart, it’s usually because my perspective is out of alignment. Typically, either my view of myself, my offender, God, or his commands is skewed. Honestly, it’s usually all of the above.

I think too highly of myself.

I think too lowly of my offender.

I think too narrowly of God.

I think too proudly about his commands.

If just one of those lines of thinking is present, the ship crashes & I’m adrift at sea—drowning in bitterness & resentment.

Oh, how desperately I need Jesus. He is eternally, unfathomably, merciful. And I am so far from that. I am tight-fisted, quick to anger, haughty & meager when it comes to loving my enemies. He is abundant, patient, humble, overflowing with faithful love.

And so I pray, Jesus, change my heart. Make me & mold me to look more like you. I can’t get there without you. Soften the hardened edges. Correct my vision. Recreate my heart. Humble me. Fight for me so I can be still. Teach me what enemy-love looks like. You know it well, for you opened wide your loving arms to me when I was so far off.
