RELEASE OF FORGIVENESS
Forgiveness is liberating–it lightens the load of both the forgiven and the forgiver. One of the Greek words for “forgiveness” means to “loose away from, lift off, release.” Imagine a cluster of red helium balloons being released into the air, never to be seen again. That vivid picture illustrates what happened when God forgave your sins through Christ’s death. He “lifted off” the burden of wrong and sent it away. From Seeing Yourself Through God’s Eyes, A Devotional Guide, by June Hunt, Zondervan Publishing House, Grand Rapids, 1989, p. 51
