Restoring Relationships and Forgiveness

According to Jesus, regardless of the magnitude of the hurts, we receive at the hands of others, if we don’t find a way to release and pardon the people who hurt us, our pain and anger settle at the bottom of our souls. Without our knowing it, they find each other and begin to grow. Over time, the rage and tears of other hurts are added, and the sum of the parts takes on a life of its own. We’re forced to deal with no longer one isolated incident but all of them together. It becomes like a monster coming to live with us, the moment we choose not to forgive. We can also choose to forgive.
