{Scripture Challenge 2} Challenge Word #14, Forgive

I actually had another word picked out for our study this week but God kept bringing this word—forgive—to my mind. So, in obedience to Him, we are going to look at:
Challenge Word 14: Forgive

Have you ever been hurt so deeply that you feel you cannot forgive that person? Maybe you were lied to, rejected, taken advantage of, or even worse. How did you react? Did you hold onto it and become angry and bitter? Are you still holding onto it? Do you feel like it’s eating a hole right through you as the bitterness festers? Is it then causing you to gossip and speak ill of that person? Well, the Bible tells us that we are to forgive as God forgives us. Colossians 3:13 says “Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.”
