Forgiveness: Grace through Relapse

📖 Introduction

Forgiveness is one of the most profound and challenging gifts we can offer and receive, especially when dealing with addiction and relapse. Life's journey with addiction often involves repeated failures, relapses, and setbacks that can feel discouraging and painful—for both the individual struggling and those who love them. Yet, the Bible invites us into a transformative path of grace that covers even ongoing mistakes.

Walking with grace through repeated failures asks us to hold onto hope, extend mercy, and trust in God's healing power. When addiction causes someone dear to us to stumble again and again, forgiveness is not merely a one-time act but a daily choice to love beyond the hurt. God's Word models this unconditional love and calls us to imitate His forgiving heart.
