Relationally Generous

Forgiveness isn’t easy—and it doesn’t mean forgetting. But it does mean releasing. When we hold on to past hurts, we carry a weight God never intended for us to bear. The story of Jacob and Esau reminds us that reconciliation doesn’t come by following toxic scripts or clinging to old identities. Jacob had to wrestle with God and be renamed Israel before he could face his brother. In the same way, we must let God define our identity, not our pain or our past.
