I always believed forgiveness had conditions. Someone apologizes, I forgive—then it’s done. Colossians 3:13 made me pause. The Greek charizomai shows forgiveness modeled on God’s grace: no expectations, no tallying up. It’s hard. My pride keeps wanting proof, acknowledgment, or even repayment. But God’s way is different. He forgave me freely, expecting nothing in return. I realized I can do the same, even if I don’t get an apology or closure. It doesn’t make me weak—it makes my heart lighter. #Forgiveness #Grace #ChristianSeniors #FaithReflection #TheVerseYouSkipped
