Unforgiveness

Forgiveness is not for the offender, but it's for the offended.

Unforgiveness is like becoming a slave. The offender will gain control of our lives because our actions or goals are driven by our resentment and revenge.

Unforgiveness is like a burden. The offended would carry the hurt, pain and disappointment throughout life – a liability that weighs us down.

Unforgiveness is like a parasite. Inability to forgive sucks the soul and life of the offended, leaving us vulnerable to harm and anger.

Forgiveness is not for the offender, but it's for the offended.
