Opportunities to forgive have never found their way onto a list of things I’m thankful for. Definitely something to think about here. Thanks for that.

Lisa, WOW! Thank you so much for sharing my post, “I Can Only Imagine…” as your Featured Post today! It is such an honor and a blessing to share with others what has encouraged me. All glory and honor to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

I’ve read that book, but it’s been many years. I don’t remember that point! But what a good point it is, that Abigail would have had a lot of experience with discernment and forgiveness by that time. It helps me to remember that forgiveness is an act of the will, not a feeling. So often I wait to feel like forgiving instead of seeking God’s grace to do it.

True words, Lisa! “Only forgivers can teach forgiveness with credibility.”
I loved the idea of making a list of what would happen if you forgave, and what would happen if you didn’t. Sometimes we need to see it in black and white.

I have always been awed by Abigail’s graciousness to her husband by intervening for him, Lisa. Thank you for these reflections. May we by grace forgive as God so freely forgives us! Love and blessings to you!

I have spent a fair amount of time thinking about Abigail, and I don’t appreciate the role she played in David’s life.

We must always be ready to step into someone’s mess and be the encourager, hand holder, or prayer warrior that they so desperately need.

I’ve thanked the Lord for His grace to forgive, but I’ve never thought about thanking Him for the opportunity to forgive. That is a powerful sentiment! I appreciate this insight, Lisa, “Only forgivers can teach forgiveness with credibility.”
