Forgiveness is hard—especially when someone deeply wounds you. But today’s episode shows how letting go of bitterness can unlock a freedom that changes everything.

What do you do when someone hurts you so deeply, it feels impossible to forgive?

Holding onto that pain can feel like control—but it’s actually a prison. And if you’ve ever struggled to forgive, you’re not alone.

Today’s devotion explores one powerful act of mercy that stunned the world—and how it mirrors the way Christ forgives us.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:

• Why forgiveness isn’t forgetting—and what it actually means
• What happens inside us when we hold on to bitterness
• How the forgiveness we’ve received from God empowers us to forgive others

You don’t have to carry this hurt forever. Letting go might be the most freeing thing you ever do.
