A challenging choice

“Unforgiveness is like a parasite, feeding upon us and growing stronger as it allowed to thrive” (paraphrased from The Marriage Book).

As I read these words this morning, I realised again that the hurt and anger that feels locked in my heart, the patterns of behaviour and downward spirals that feel like a recurring nightmare have a lot to do with my inability and unwillingness to forgiveness. Once again, I am reminded that forgiveness is a choice. It’s a choice I don’t have to make alone – I have to remember that God is there to help me along the way.
