Faith Walk: Suffocating Your Spirit

When we breathe in bitterness, it suffocates our emotions and spirit.

It is like carrying a huge weight around with us everywhere we go. We think that we are hurting the other person with our lack of forgiveness, when in reality they are not thinking about us at all. In fact, 9 times out of 10, they do not think they have done anything wrong at all. We do not have to hurt anymore. We can let go of our hurt by choosing to forgive and surrendering it to God. When we do, we can breathe in the fresh air of freedom and move on with our lives. Life is too short to remain bitter. Forgiveness does not make the other person right, it sets us free.
