The Prisoner....

Forgiveness. There is a Matthew West song that says; "Forgiveness, the prisoner that it really frees is you." This is so true. Learning to forgive and live allows us to move on; to free up energy that we would spend if unforgiven casting blame, making excuses or seeking revenge. All negative actions that continue to produce negativity in our lives. Forgiveness is positive and freeing. It does not remove the hurt; God has a way of helping that lessen over time, but it does open our heart up to new opportunities and possibilities. Forgiveness allows us to move forward productivly with a healthier mind, spirit and heart.
