Quote: “In our peeved state we vowed never to speak to that offender again…Hatred, enmity, and anger fashion chains that shackle the grudge holder. Such bondage fragments healthy relationships and saps the joy out of living…What most holds us back is not what others do to us, but how we choose to respond…Release only comes when we forgive one another and move on. With confession comes absolution, restoration and the freedom of a new beginning for all. Prayer: Forgiving God grant me a measure of your Spirit to forgive as I have been forgiven by you. Amen.”
