5 Myths About Forgiveness You NEED to Stop Believing

  Forgiveness is powerful, but it’s often misunderstood. Let’s clear up what forgiveness isn’t so we can embrace what it truly is! πŸ™ Based on 1 Corinthians 13:5b (CEV): “Love doesn’t keep a record of wrongs that others do.” πŸ’• Let’s dive in! 1️⃣ Forgiveness is NOT Conditional   You don’t wait for an apology to forgive.

So, how do we break those fear-chains? Let God’s love flood your heart! πŸ’• The apostle John drops this truth-bomb: “There is no fear in love; perfect love drives out all fear” (1 John 4:18).
