Folks, after I updated the thread about my mom being close to death, I sat back down at my wood lathe to continue turning a bowl and a thought came to me that I have no doubt came from God and that He wanted me to share it.
If anyone reading this is harboring unforgiveness consider what you will be facing. I'm not talking about going to hell, but what you will face more each day. For nearly 40 years I carried what I thought was my right to carry. Someone had hurt me deeply.
But what I wasn't seeing was that unforgiveness gets heavier every day and by the time I was able to forgive with His help....yes , there's a feeling of euphoria but soon you will discover that carrying that heavy weight caused you to walk slumped over and you will be faced with the daunting task of learning to walk upright. I can tell you from experience it isn't easy.
Don't learn the hard way like I did. Forgive now. Forgive before you begin to sag under that weight and have to learn, like I am, to walk upright again.
