Barb Roose: How My Grandma's Forgiveness Footsteps Saved My Life

"Life hurts, but God doesn't want unforgiveness to hold us hostage in negativity and bitterness. When we’re hurt, our desire is to cut people off in the hope that the pain cuts off as well. Part of our struggle with forgiveness is that the pain doesn’t go away immediately, so our attempts at forgiveness can feel like a failure. Yet, as I reflect on the context of Jesus’ teaching and my grandmother’s example, I see forgiveness as a journey more than just the number of times we forgive someone."
