To Forgive..

Tweet

it really does do more for you than for the person you are forgiving. I won't bore you with the details, but I had been harboring a grudge against a family member for a little more than a year. I knew I was going to have to spend some extended time in their company, so before they got here I spent some time praying for God to forgive me for harboring that grudge in my heart and to help me forgive the person for hurting me. Once I was able to ask for and then give forgiveness I was able to really enjoy having them around. I was even able to feel ashamed of myself for carrying around such a stupid grudge for so long. Does anyone else care to share a moment in their lives where forgiveness lifted a heavy burden?
