Daily Devotion Podcast – Freedom in Forgiveness | Colossians 3:13-14
Recorded by English preacher and Bible teacher Reverend Ben Cooper in London, England

Have you ever felt the crushing weight of a broken relationship—maybe it’s with a spouse, a child, a sibling, or even a close friend? The kind of pain that lingers quietly, yet disrupts your peace daily? I want to encourage you today, friend. Forgiveness is not just a word; it’s a lifeline, a gift from God that frees us from chains we didn’t even realise were holding us down.

In this morning’s daily devotion, we turn to Colossians 3:13-14. The Apostle Paul urges us, “Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.” This is a call to real freedom. Not just a surface-level, quick fix. It’s a call to dig deep and lean into Jesus’ example of forgiveness—spoken from the cross when He said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing” (Luke 23:34).

I know forgiveness can be hard—sometimes it feels impossible. But remember, you’re not walking this path alone. The Holy Spirit is there to strengthen you, to heal the wounds you carry, and to help you release the bitterness that steals your joy. Today’s five-minute prayer devotion is your moment to surrender those hurts to God and invite His healing power into your heart.

We also stand on the promises in Ephesians 4:31-32, where Paul reminds us to be kind and compassionate, forgiving one another just as God forgave us. And as we embrace the fruit of the Spirit—love, patience, kindness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23)—our relationships begin to reflect God’s grace.

Life Application:
I want to challenge you: write down the names of those you struggle to forgive. Every day, lift them up in prayer. Ask God to soften your heart, and pray for His peace to replace your pain. Forgiveness is a journey—sometimes slow, often painful—but it always leads to freedom. Lean on Jesus, the One who bore our sins and showed us what true forgiveness looks like.
