Right now I give this ground back to the Lord Jesus Christ to whom it rightfully belongs."

- PHYLLIS PRESENTS What are the benefits of forgiving someone? Letting go of grudges and bitterness can make way for compassion, kindness and peace. Generally, forgiveness is a decision to let go of resentment and thoughts of revenge. The act that hurt or offended you might always remain a part of your life, but forgiveness can lessen its grip on you and help you focus on other, positive parts of your life. Forgiveness can even lead to feelings of understanding, empathy and compassion for the one who hurt you. Forgiveness doesn't mean that you deny the other person's responsibility for hurting you, and it doesn't minimize or justify the wrong. You can forgive the person without excusing the act. Forgiveness brings a kind of peace that helps you go on with life.
- Faith: We forgive by faith out of obedience. Since forgiveness goes against our nature, we must forgive by faith, whether we feel like it or not. (our job), by faith, until the work of forgiveness (the Lord's job), is done in our hearts. , Forgive and Forget, "When you release the wrongdoer from the wrong, you cut a malignant tumor out of your inner life. \ For a Life Time: Matthew 18:21-22 Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, "Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me? Up to seven times?" Jesus answered, "I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times. (NIV)11 Forgiveness is not easy for us. It's not a one-time choice and then we automatically live in a state of forgiveness. Forgiveness may require a lifetime of forgiving, but it is important to the Lord. We must continue forgiving until the matter is settled in our heart. Consider the value of forgiveness and its importance in your life at a given time Reflect on the facts of the situation, how you've reacted, and how this combination has affected your life, health and well-being
- JACKIE PRESENTS We will know the work of forgiveness is complete when we experience the freedom that comes as a result. We are the ones who suffer most when we choose not to forgive. When we do forgive, the Lord sets our hearts free from the anger9, bitterness10, resentment and hurt that previously imprisoned us. Most times, however, forgiveness is a slow process.
- Provide explanation about the Fans. Used only as a tool to begin the process of asking for forgiveness, one still has to go to his brother if he has an “ought.” and talk to each other face to face. If you cant’ seem to bring yourself to saying the words at that moment, hold up your fan.
