Love, Forgiveness, and Peace in Christ

Since I came to know Jesus, my life has been deeply transformed. My heart, once filled with pain, bitterness, and anger, has softened through His love. Jesus' love became more than just a feeling for me—it became a way of life. I’ve learned that love isn't just about loving those who treat us well, but about choosing to see others through the eyes of Jesus. The greatest change in my life was gaining the power to forgive. Before Jesus came into my heart, I couldn’t forgive those who had hurt me. But God’s Word says: > “For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.” (Matthew 6:14-15) > “Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” (Ephesians 4:32) These verses became like a light in my darkness. When I forgave those who had hurt me, I felt a heavy burden lift from my heart. For the first time, I experienced true peace. I have had many difficult days in my life—days when I didn’t know what to do. But since I met Jesus, I’ve learned to place everything in His hands. He says: > “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28) Now I know I am never alone, not even in the darkest moments. Jesus walks with me, and I trust Him. To live with Jesus is to live with love, forgiveness, and peace—truly.
