Don't Poison Yourself....Forgive

Published: Aug. 27, 2017, 10 a.m.

Forgiving someone who has hurt you can seem impossible and overwhelming. Holding onto the anger or hurt can seem important, as if to forgive without the proper prerequisites somehow cheapens forgiveness or undermines the importance of your feelings. But Jesus showed us that if we want to be his disciples, we never stop forgiving. Further, we forgive not one day, once we've healed, but now - or else we are only poisoning ourselves.
