First up today, let's go to Julia calling in from South Dakota. Julia, what's your question for

Adrile? Hi, Pastor Adriel. I'm wondering how I can forgive someone who has sinned against me.

I feel like I have verbally forgiven this person,

but I still hold some bitterness in my heart, which I know is wrong, and I'm just wondering

how I can kind of get over that and kind of get through it. Julia, thank you for that question,

and the reality is, is truly forgiving someone. I mean. There's a process. We can say, I forgive you,

which looks like I'm no longer going to hold this over your head. I'm no longer going to try and

retaliate for what you've done. It's putting down know, putting down the weapons. But when we do that,

there's still that sense of pain that we feel. We're absorbing some of that in, in forgiveness.

And that's what you're experiencing. And this is one of the reasons why so many people,

they just sort of bury those feelings or try to at least. Or they don't forgive.

There was a poll that was done not too long ago.

I think it was the Barner group that did the research and they said there's one and four

Christians who say there's just someone out there that I will not forgive.

I'm unwilling to forgive.

I want to commend you just as a sister in Christ for pursuing forgiveness and reconciliation,
