Letting Go

Love, as 1 Corinthians 13 describes it, keeps no record of wrongs — it doesn't keep score. Forgiveness feels unfair and hard, but Jesus shows in the parable of the unforgiving servant that it's actually the only way out of the prison we build for ourselves when we hold onto hurt. Because we've been forgiven an impossible debt, we're freed to let go of what's been done to us and ride toward what Jesus has already done for us.

True satisfaction isn't found by getting more of life "under the sun" — money, wisdom, pleasure, success — because God built us with an eternal longing only He can fill. When we have the courage to trust God with our lives instead of chasing more, the things of this world stop being burdens and become gifts we can actually enjoy.
