Having Problems with Unforgiveness?
I am…
(No, Mom & Dad, you did great… it’s someone else) 
Unforgiveness definitely sucks and I certainly don’t recommend letting it in your heart to anyone, for even just a trial run. It just ate away at my heart and put me in a familiar mental state which I took quite some time, prayer, and vigilance to ditch. Fortunately the power of God is more than sufficient to break any bonds on our heart, and that Jesus guy gave us a great example of dealing with forgiveness/unforgiveness, and the Bible expands further upon that principle.
If music helps stir your spirit, I also heard a great little song on the radio from Brandon Heath which really spoke to my heart about forgiveness. Below I put two videos – one being the studio version, and the other being the live version.
If you have some unforgiveness you’d like to get off your chest, I’d be more than happy if you’d spew it below in the comments. Chow
Man, this is very true.i believe that i still have problems in forgiving ex-girlfriend and her mother for what was done to me! but God is good i am a better person now and he has shown His love to me. this situation made me into a powerful man of God! maybe one day they will say sorry but today i CHOOSE to forgive them for all the wickedness that was done to me.
I have aproblem with a pastor who came from Jamaica as an associate pastors of the church that God placed my dad at. I had great respect for this pastor when he first came. He came humble and showed great respect to my dad. Afterwhile, this same pastor started showing signs of disdain towards my dad and would openly disrespect my dad. Now my dad is not a fighter. He’s a peaceful kind of guy. He’s not the type to even defend himself. And I sat and watch this man disrespect my dad in the church where God placed my dad as leader. He even showed signs of almost wanting to take over. Of course the ministerial board delt with the matter, but I still find it hard to let go and forgive. Now this was probably about a year ago, but I still review the situation in my mind constantly like it was yesterday. And I have a hard time forgiving and regaining the respect I once had for this man. What words of encouragment do you have for me? How do I let go of this resentment, especially when I seem him at each church service? This is definety not good for my spiritual health.
