Are you chained to someone from your past? In today’s Battle Drill Daily Devotional, we explore the powerful truth about forgiveness from Matthew 5:7 through two unforgettable stories.

Discover why unforgiveness is a torture chamber you’re building for yourself, and learn the one step you can take TODAY to find freedom. This daily Christian devotional will encourage you to drop the chains of bitterness, resentment, and grudges that have been weighing you down.

📖 SCRIPTURE FOCUS: Matthew 5:7 - “God blesses those who are merciful, for they will be shown mercy.”

⚡ IN THIS DEVOTIONAL:

- The heartbreaking story of two brothers divided for 20 years over £1
