Pastor Joanie If you missed Sunday’s Sermon
Read or listen to Forgiveness – Holding On Keeps Us From Moving On (Freeway, Week 4)
Devotion 4
Try this little exercise:
- Take an index card or clean sheet of paper.
- On that piece of paper write down all your hopes and dreams.
- Take some colorful sticky notes. Write the things you refuse to forgive on those sticky notes.
- Place those sticky notes on top on top of your hopes and dream.
Take note of what’s happened. The things that you are holding on to; the things that you are not forgiving are blocking you from reaching your hopes and dreams–your future. How does that feel?
One more exercise. Take out a sheet of paper. Write a letter to the person (or people) you’re forgiving. Take your time.
As you write this letter, how is God speaking to you? What are you learning about yourself?
