Then Peter came up and said to Him, “Lord, how often will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times?” [22] Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you seven times, but seventy-seven times.” — Matthew 18:21-22
Unforgiveness is like drinking poison and expecting the “betrayer” to get hurt. The problem with this is that you are the only one suffering when you hold on to hurts. What good does bitterness do for us? It actually separates us from experiencing the full love of God. Part of the way God shows love for us is in His mercy and grace. Once we repent, He forgives immediately and we receive the blessing. - When we withhold forgiveness towards someone, we are blocking the blessings God has for us and the perpetrator.
So, who do you need to forgive? I’m not saying you have to call them up and tell them (ask God what He wants you to do). |

In my book, I shared a story about how I called my stepdad and actually asked for forgiveness from him for holding on to his wrongs for so many years. I was so scared to get on the phone call, but afterwards I felt a huge boulder off my shoulders. It changed my relationship with my mom, myself, and my husband all for the better once I was able to let go and truly forgive. If you're struggling to forgive, ask God to give you the strength. He will give you what you need if you continue to lay the burdens and the hurt at the loving feet of our Father God. |

Who do you need to forgive? You already know who it is without even thinking hard. Ask the Lord today to give you the grace to forgive. If that’s not where you are today, ask Him for the grace to want to forgive. ~ Devotionals Daily |

The Take 7 approach to personal growth and fulfillment |
What Do You Really Want?: 7 Questions That Can Unlock the Answers to a Life Full of Abundance, Meaning, and Connection |
|
|
+ FREE shipping included! |
We all want to experience great joy, peace, and love in our lives. We all want to find our true purpose and live an abundant life. But to do that, we have to first ask ourselves a few questions and get to know someone who we might be unconsciously allowing to drive our lives: our younger selves.
Cayla Craft was working as an ER nurse when she realized that she was unconsciously believing a lot of unhelpful narratives about herself that were influencing her everyday life. She started getting honest with herself and answered some tough questions, trying get to know the “little me” who was making a lot of the decisions in her adult life. This realization led to her quitting her day job and developing the Take 7 approach to personal growth and fulfillment that has helped thousands of women live their best lives. In What Do You Really Want?, Cayla guides readers through the seven questions that can change everything and shows them how to
- eliminate areas of self-sabotage by learning how to take control of their narratives,
- find the courage to identify and make necessary sacrifices to create the lives they were made for, and
-
replace a cycle of toxic positivity with action that comes from a place of truth and self-knowledge.
When you learn to use this self-coaching method, you’ll discover the more enriching, deeply fulfilled life that God intended you to have. What Do You Really Want? goes beyond current explanations about how narratives shape us and helps readers discover the questions they should be asking so they can use those answers to inspire a transformation in their lives and the lives of others. |
