b. Before asked (Ps 86:5)
II. How do I forgive?
a. Just like God forgives me, completely. (Jer 31:34b)
b. With the compassion of God because we are called to hold a different standard in our relationships. (I Kings 8:50-53a)
III. What does complete forgiveness look like?
a. It looks like pure love. I must remember that I am here to allow the people around me to experience a shadow of their relationship with Christ. Rejoicing in good decisions, facing and dealing with poor decisions.
