When Forgiveness Frees You from the Weight of the Past

We all carry wounds. Some are fresh, others decades old. But all of them shape how we see ourselves, others, and even God. In Be Transformed: New Life Awaits, John Murphy shares how forgiveness—real, heart-level forgiveness—freed him from the weight of the past and opened the door to peace.

Forgiveness isn’t about excusing what happened. It’s about releasing the burden of carrying it. At Rock House Center, we help clients understand that unforgiveness keeps us tied to the pain. It distorts our identity and blocks the healing God wants to bring.

Emotional healing begins when we stop rehearsing the offense and start trusting God with justice, healing, and restoration. Forgiveness is a gift we give ourselves—not because the other person deserves it, but because we were never meant to carry that weight.

🎧 For more on this journey, listen to the podcast Getting Unstuck. You’ll hear how forgiveness breaks emotional strongholds and restores peace to the heart.
