Adventist Podcast Network

In a world that is increasingly polarised and where a number of prominent international conflicts are raging, peace is needed more than ever. Join us this week to find some practical ways to get access to the peace that passes understanding. 

We talk about: 

• Informing your emotions
• Cultivating gratitude in all things
• Writing as catharsis
• Finding community and support

You can find 10 verses that will help you find peace in the June 21 issue of Adventist Record. 

Tune into Record Live at 4pm as we talk about how to trust God for peace and rest during life’s storms. Or listen later on our podcast, uploaded each Friday.

“Forgive me,” we say flippantly, painting on a shallow smile, when we discover we are misaligned with someone greater or more powerful—someone who might make us hurt.

We view our error lightly—just a minor inconvenience—and we hope the one offended will quickly do the same. Why do the humbling work of owning all that happened and acknowledging its impact?

But true forgiveness is a thoughtful, time-intensive mercy—never rushed if genuine; never brushed away if real. Unless we face the injury we’ve caused, we ask for restoration without repentance, a mere smoothing of ruffled surfaces.  If the needed words are “I’m sorry that I hurt you,” or “I can see how I was wrong,” speak truthfully, and find the needed healing. “Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ” (Gal 6:1-2).

And when we are the ones offended and it is our turn to forgive, we plant the seeds of our own future grudges if we pretend a painful hurt is only minor and dismissible. What goes unsaid is usually unforgiven as well. Both grace and truth are called for each time there is an injury.

Only those who know themselves forgiven by the One who was always “full of grace and truth” (John 1:14) ever truly forgive another broken soul. Only in the field of grace can reconciliation blossom.

So stay in grace. -Bill Knot
