Define forgiveness.

How is forgiveness different from excusing what people have done or just avoiding what people have done?

Why would you choose not to forgive someone?

Who is your unforgiveness hurting? You or the person who hurt you?

Has anybody ever wronged you more than you have wronged God?

Is the way God forgives us different from the way we forgive others? Explain. Is it harder to forgive yourself or forgive others? Explain.

Rank yourself on a scale of 1-10 (where 1 is “very poor” and 10 is “excellent”) on how you are at receiving and giving away forgiveness. If comfortable, share that number with the group.

CLOSING THOUGHT & PRAYER:

To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you. —Louise B. Smedes

Pray for you and your group to receive God’s forgiveness and to make each of you more forgiving.
