As demanded by Tina, here are the reflection questions based on the clip we saw last week. Feel free to watch it again and comment even if you weren't there! :D

"You thought you were over it but now you're more into it than ever and the wound is reopened and it hurts more than ever, and then it becomes a day or a week or 10 years later and now it's become a part of you"
Q: What are some of your wounds? How have they shaped who you are today?

"...revenge becomes our only hope"
Q: When was a time when you got revenge for something? How did you feel? Do you think you were telling God that you can handle it better than He?

"The eyes of the Lord are everywhere..."
Q: Do you trust that God is ultimately going to take care of everything?

"You know what? You don’t understand. What they did to me is so horrible, I can never forgive them. But what if God said that?"
Q: How have you experienced God's forgiveness? Knowing this, how can that help you to forgiving others?

"Maybe forgiveness is ultimately about you and me, it's about us. Because when i forgive something and I set them free, it's like I'm really setting myself free."
Q: Do you believe this statement? That forgiveness is really more about the forgiving than the forgiven? Does this make it easier for you to forgive?

"Forgiving is an action. It's something you do."
Q: Is there anyone that you need to forgive right now? Share.

Now there's no excuse not to blog! haha. :D
