Have you ever taken an inventory of your life? Without checking your own life and being aware of how you feel, you cannot make changes. I do not know what issues you are facing, but I chose to deal with “unforgiveness” because it is a common issue that many people face today. I will deal with guilt and fear in future posts.
Unforgiveness comes about when a family member or friend may have said something about you or done something to you that left you unforgiving. You held on to that emotion for years, refusing to let it go and it turned into bitterness, hatred, anger, loneliness, and jealousy. You refused to settle your differences with that individual ignoring the individual in family and other gatherings and the situation got worse.
Before unforgiveness became a hedge between your relationship with your family member or friend, you could have settled your differences much earlier by inviting the individual to talk about how you felt over a cup of tea or coffee. What I have noticed with the person who is unforgiving is that you end up emotionally hurting yourself needlessly, as the other person may not know or care about what you are experiencing.
