Difficult choices

Reading this blog post this morning was a timely reminder that forgiveness is not a feeling, it is a choice. If I wait until I feel ready to forgive someone, then I will never do it. It’s not an easy choice though, and I often find it far easier to choose to anger, resentment, bitterness and bearing grudges particularly as choosing to forgive is not a one-off choice. It’s a choice that I have to make time and time again. Why is it when I have been forgiven for so much, I find it hard to forgive for so little?
