Forgiveness is not okaying what another person did to us. They will have to give account one day for their actions. Holding onto bitterness against them does not hurt them, but it hurts us. It blocks our communication with God. It will destroy us and it will destroy our relationship with Christ. It's time to release it all and let it go...

Release

The pain is so deep
The bitterness grows
Your heart feels trapped
With anger it shows

Imprisoned by the hurt
That keeps you bound
You wonder why
No freedom’s been found

You think your protection
Is in keeping up walls
But closing off your heart
Has been your downfall

I’ve forgiven you much
You must let the offenses go
As long as you hold on
My presence cannot flow

Holding unforgiveness
Will roadblock you from Me
It will steal your very chance
Of ever being free

You have to release anyone
Who has ever caused you pain
The shackles will then be loosed
And in your life, I’ll be free to reign.
