My BFF / sister recognized I was struggling emotionally lately. And because she knows I didn’t want to admit I was sinking (because I try to be strong regardless) she acted. She sent me a love and care package. It’s one of those packages you get in the mail that makes you feel like it’s Christmas when you open it. It was a box full of God. One of my Godly gifts was the book, Awaken, by Priscilla Shirer. This book has refocused me at a time when I thought all hope was lost.
I say all of that to give a backstory. Today’s lesson in the book was on forgiveness. This is one of those things where it’s easy to utter the words “I forgive you,” but hard to forget the act that warranted the forgiveness in the first place. I struggled with this for years. While today, I’m better at it, it’s still a work in progress. Today’s lesson reminded me of the costs associated with choosing not to forgive. I no longer want to go back to that life! See for yourself…
