Thank you, Brad, for this! I truly needed to be reminded of releasing a person who brought trouble in our lives. I could resonate with your words, “You just can’t expect both at once—the hammer for your offender and the feather for you. To assign your enemy to the land of the Law while you remain in the kingdom of Grace… no, it doesn’t work that way.”

Lord, I release this person whom “I’ve held in cage” (as @ballengerjason remarked) into your merciful hands. I pray for your mercy and love upon him. Amen
