Dallas Willard has deeply shaped my understanding of reconciliation and forgiveness. He often spoke about how true reconciliation involves an inner transformation, rooted in the love and grace of God. I think of scriptures like Colossians 3:13, which says, "Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you." Willard taught that forgiveness is not about simply brushing off offenses but about experiencing the profound freedom that comes when I release my bitterness and resentment to God. It’s more than just a decision; it’s entering into a process of allowing God to heal my heart. In practicing this, I find reconciliation becomes possible, as I’m learning to see others not through their wrongs but through the lens of God's love and mercy.

Thank you for this replayed sermon on forgiveness. I really needed the reminder. I still struggle with forgiving those who have hurt me deeply and this strategy reminds me of how I need to approach this issue.

Good morning ☀️ Forgiveness is amazing, letting go and leaving at God’s feet is peace. CRAFT, another easy to use tool.

There's a huge difference between someone saying 'oh i am sorry you felt it that way or i hurt your feelings, this will only break your heart again, when someone realy is sorry and even grieves over it, there is love that (in time)can heal your heart.

Seems to me that, in light of “concept creep” and the rise of “victimhood culture” - which have generated a lot of illegitimate perceptions of “harm” - the message about apologizing for impact needs to be updated. In a vast number of cases, apologizing for anything more than “impact” is to concede too much to this dysfunctional cultural trend.
