ABOUT THIS JOURNAL:
Forgiveness doesn’t minimize the hurt, it releases its hold. It’s not about excusing what was done, but about setting your heart free from the weight of carrying it. Forgiveness is one of the most beautiful and hardest things God calls us to do, because it requires surrender. It asks us to let go of what we can’t fix and trust God to redeem what was broken.
When most people think of forgiveness, they imagine forgetting, reconciling, or pretending the pain didn’t happen. But God shows us a better way:
Forgiveness is release, not denial.
Forgiveness is healing, not weakness.
Forgiveness is peace, not permission.
It doesn’t erase the past, it loosens its grip. Forgiveness starts with God, who freely forgave us through Jesus. From that truth, we learn to forgive ourselves, others, and even situations that never came with an apology. Each step of forgiveness creates space for peace to enter and for healing to begin.
This week’s journal is a gentle invitation to let go of what’s been heavy and find freedom in God’s grace. Through Scripture, prayer, and reflection, you’ll discover that forgiveness isn’t a one-time act—it’s a journey toward peace, taken hand in hand with the One who heals.
Inside, you’ll find:
Verses that remind you of God’s mercy and renewal
Encouragement to release what you can’t change
Prayers that help you let go and lean into grace
Reflection prompts to guide your heart toward peace
Whether you’re forgiving yourself, another person, or a painful past, this week is for you. Forgiveness doesn’t mean the story is over, it means healing has begun.
