Forgiveness is the difference between those who claim to believe in God yet complacently remain the same, and those who enthusiastically embrace God’s dream for their lives. Forgiveness frees us from our past and opens the door to our future. Those who forgive deeply understand that God’s dream is not limited by people or what people do to us. God’s dreams for our lives surpass what people can do. Forgiveness never waits for an apology but is freely extended when we walk closely with God.
