Hey Sis! 🎙️

Today’s episode brings us to the close of our Matthew 18 study, where Jesus’ parable of the unforgiving servant reminds us just how deeply we’ve been forgiven — and how that forgiveness is meant to transform the way we release others. As we revisit the flow of the chapter, from questions about greatness to wandering sheep to conflict among believers, we’re invited to see the heart behind Jesus’ teaching: forgiveness is not a suggestion but a reflection of the grace we ourselves depend on. Whether you’re wrestling with old wounds, navigating complicated relationships, or simply needing a reminder that God sees your heart, this passage gently calls us back to humility, mercy, and the freedom found in forgiving from the heart.

We also wrap up Day 5 of our Christmas devotional God With Us and reflect on Jesus as our Prince of Peace — the One who calms anxious thoughts, settles weary hearts, and offers a rest this world can’t imitate. Isaiah foretold Him, the Gospels reveal Him, and we still experience Him today: steady, present, and endlessly loving. If you’ve been carrying weight He never asked you to carry, this episode is an invitation to let the Father meet you with peace that surpasses understanding. May your heart feel held, guided, and deeply loved as you step into the rest only Jesus can give.
