The Pros and Cons of Forgiveness/Unforgiveness - The Pros (Part 3)

The Power of Forgiveness with Dwayne Staten

This is Part 3 speaking about the pros of forgiveness in the article by the Mayo Clinic called: “Forgiveness: Letting go of grudges and bitterness”. We dive more into the physical, mental and emotional benefits of forgiving someone. This is a multi-part series that will speak on the pros and cons of forgiveness.

Something to Think About:

Write down the times when these pros happened when you forgave someone. Ask God to reveal what is keeping you from experiencing these same benefits now.

Show Notes:

The article this episode was based on: “Forgiveness: Letting go of grudges and bitterness” by the Mayo Clinic Staff (https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/adult-health/in-depth/forgiveness/art-20047692)

When I said "For those who achieved forgiveness, anxiety and depression, along with improved self-esteem and hope, were improved" and "68 couples discussed a recent marital transgression... Lower blood pressure was found in both the transgressed and the transgressor" This was from: "Forgiveness: How it Manifests in our Health, Wellbeing, and Longevity" (https://repository.upenn.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1124&context=mapp_capstone)

The Bible verse I was talking about was: "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6-7 New King James Version

Another Bible verse: "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." John 14:27 New International Version
