Forgiveness

I've been thinking alot about forgiveness lately. And how difficult it is for some yet seemingly easy for others. I know in my own life there have been times when I have clung to my anger like a baby with an old worn blanket. Content with the familiar feelings of bitterness and frustration over a situation where I felt I was wronged by someone else. And feeling justified in those feelings. Believing that anger was worth the loneliness and emptiness. But in the end it wasn't worth it at all. For me, forgiveness came too late. Too late to heal the wounded spirit and too late to rebuild a relationship. Don't let the sun go down on your anger. Good advice. For all it will do is give the Devil a foothold and eventually you will have regrets.
