  1. I never thought about it as “being owed something” and to cancel that debt. Lovely way to think about though and letting it go because it’s been cancelled is key!

  2. Angel, Your words always challenge me. Thank you for the encouragement to show my husband the same forgiveness that’s been extended to me.

  3. Amen. So much freedom in letting go and “cancelling debts.” So grateful for Jesus who cancelled our debts, and makes it possible for us to do the same for others. Thanks for sharing, Angel and Meredith. Lovely to connect. 🙂

  4. Cancelling a debt, interesting way of looking at it. My mother always says you can’t give what you don’t have, that’s why other people don’t always reciprocate the way we think they should.

  5. “To forgive means to acknowledge that your husband, or wife, has sinned against you and owes you something, but you will cancel the debt.” That’s a great definition!

  6. As a single person, it’s always refreshing to read about the realities of marriage – of being sinned against and of sinning against another person – and one you love deeply. It’s a sobering reminder that marriage isn’t a “fix-all” or perfect, but that it’s two imperfect people coming together and loving one another the best they can as they pursue Godliness and Christ together. Thank you for sharing this!
