Forgive

I heard this video on a friend's blog recently and it stuck with me. So often we carry anger with us, thinking we own the right to it, when really the only person we're hurting is ourselves. Yes, there are times when the person who hurt us did it knowingly. But then there are times where that person is so messed up, they had no idea what they were doing. And our being angry with them will not change the situation at all--it will only eat away at us. We need to give it to God. Press into Him and allow Him to heal us. And through our healing, and through HIs power--because sometimes those hurts are so big we don't have the power on our own to forgive--forgive them.
