Summary
This was meant to be a light & encouraging holiday podcast episode.
Then, it turned into a heavy and warning-type episode.
You'll be around souls this holiday.
Souls, that maybe you don't feel fully at peace with.
Souls, that maybe you have been wronged by.
Souls, that maybe you still feel the sting of the pain they inflicted on you.
This is spoken for no specific person...except, definitely for me.
Also, maybe for all of those I work with.
And maybe every person who has ever told me about their marriage struggles.
And maybe everyone else I know, too.
So, yeah... take this one personally.
May God stir His truth in you.
This is the good news:
"For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you."
This is the terrifying truth...
"But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins."
Jesus said this in the gospel of Matthew 6:15 (NIV).
Here's the deal...
I follow Jesus and need Him to save me. I NEED him to forgive me.
And according to that verse, if I don't forgive others... I have no hope of eternal salvation.
May that sober us up this holiday to forgive every person, every single one.
So, I needed to hear this.
And, I NEED to live this in EVERY single relationship.
It's a command. I needed to be reminded of it. I hope you did, too.
Love you with great love -- in courage and integrity,
Belah

| 0:36.8 | I have just been a season of growth and a season of growth. |
| 0:46.3 | And I'm so grateful to have had a break from the podcast production every week. But it has definitely been sad too because I have missed being able to engage with you every week. And it's just been amazing, |
| 0:58.1 | though, to really be able to focus and what I feel was really important for me to focus on in |
| 1:04.4 | this season. So I can't guarantee I'm going to be back at it weekly. I might have a couple weeks, |
| 1:09.9 | a few weeks, I'm not really sure of reposting, |

| 1:26.3 | on a Thursday rather than Friday because we are |
| 1:31.5 | just about at, yeah, it's just about, just about time. People might be coming to your home soon or you |

| 1:47.0 | like Jesus to your family, your extended family, your spouse. |
| 1:52.5 | And that's my prayer. |
| 1:53.8 | So before we dive in, if you're thinking about, and I hope, especially from last week's |
| 1:59.0 | episode, I hope you're praying about what God wants you to focus on |
