📖 Introduction

Forgiveness is a transformative power that heals wounds, renews relationships, and restores peace within us. As Lady Gaga has openly shared, forgiveness—especially after betrayal in friendships—can be a challenging but liberating path. It echoes the biblical call found in Matthew 5:7, where Jesus states, "Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy." This seven-day study will guide you in understanding forgiveness from God's perspective, cultivating mercy in your heart, and walking in freedom from hurt.

Through Scripture, reflection, and prayer, this study will help you uncover what it means to forgive as God forgives. You’ll be encouraged to extend mercy—not just as a duty, but as a gift to yourself and others. Whether you’re wrestling with recent hurts or long-standing resentments, this plan invites you to step into a journey of healing, just as Lady Gaga chose to forgive betrayals in her life and friendships, fostering restoration and peace.

Let’s embark on this journey together, opening our hearts to God's healing power and learning how mercy can transform pain into hope.
