Let’s be clear: this is a battle for the very essence of what it means to be human. But we are not alone. God, Christ, the Holy Spirit, and all the Saints in Heaven stand with us. Our weapon is not forged of steel, but of truth—the word of God and its teachings.
Forgiveness is not just a virtue in this fight; it is a powerful force. The enemy will send pain our way through the hands of others, testing our resolve. Yet we are called to rise above, to forgive, and to guide our adversaries toward the light of the Lord.
Here’s the truth: the enemy cannot withstand true, deep forgiveness. It dismantles his schemes, disarms his attacks, and breaks the chains he tries to forge. In forgiveness, we reclaim victory.
