I Forgive

My siblings' lives were taken much too soon. I was marred, scared, and left blind, but I forgive. Forgiveness frees us from self, saves us the cost of anger, and relieves us from hatred. Forgiveness is not giving up a right of possession. It is like a medicine that frees the soul. Unforgiveness poisons our lives, steals our joy, and endangers our relationships. Worst of all, it shuts the door to God's grace.
