Forgiveness Part 3: When you thought you were gonna get off easy (Why you must ask for forgiveness before you can extend it)

We're taught over and over about the importance of forgiving others in order to be forgiven ourselves, but recently I learned that there is another step that comes before being forgiven... Repentance.

We often wonder why those who have hurt us refuse to apologize to or reconcile with us, but rarely do we assess our own histories to see if there's anyone we've hurt who may be wondering the same thing about us.

The Bible commands us to confess our transgressions and to make things right with people we've hurt, but why do we find it so hard to do so?

In this episode we'll be talking about why we must repent, who we need to repent to, the benefits of apologizing, and how to go about it. Plus, I'll be sharing my own recent story of repenting to someone whom I had tried to forget and how the Lord used it to teach me a thing or two about forgiveness.

Thanks for listening :)
