Dr. Kenney preached a sermon from her book "FORGIVENESS IS FOR YOU - STAY FREE" ....Many people believe forgiveness is about letting the other person off the hook. They think forgiveness means what happened was acceptable. But forgiveness is not approval of the offense. Forgiveness is refusing to remain in bondage because of the offense.
The enemy wants us trapped in bitterness, resentment, anger, pain, revenge, and emotional prison. But God wants His children free.
Some people are physically alive but spiritually imprisoned because they refuse to forgive. They replay the betrayal, the rejection, the abandonment, the lies, the hurt, and the pain over and over again. Meanwhile, the offender may have moved on, but the wounded person remains emotionally chained.
Forgiveness is not for the other person first.
Forgiveness is for YOU.
God says, “Stay free.”
