Opening Prayer:
Jesus, help us to walk in forgiveness, not just for others—but also for ourselves.

Scripture:
"Bear with each other and forgive one another... Forgive as the Lord forgave you." — Colossians 3:13

Spiritual Nugget:
Forgiveness is hard—but necessary. Easter reminds us that Jesus didn’t just talk about grace; He poured it out. When we forgive, we reflect the cross. Holding onto offense weighs us down. But forgiving others and ourselves releases healing. If God’s mercy covered us, we must extend that same grace.

Prayer:
Lord, soften our hearts where there is bitterness. Teach us to forgive as You forgave us—completely, freely, and repeatedly. Let the power of the resurrection work in our hearts, transforming our pain into peace. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
