Forgiveness is freedom and bitterness is bondage. I think this quote from Oswald Chambers tells us how we are to live as God's children. It's not always easy.The Spirit of God is always the spirit of liberty; the spirit that is not of God is the spirit of bondage, the spirit of oppression and depression. The Spirit of God convicts vividly and tensely, but He is always the Spirit of liberty. God who made the birds never made birdcages; it is men who make birdcages, and after a while we become cramped and can do nothing but chirp and stand on one leg. When we get out into God's great free life, we discover that that is the way God meant us to live \”the glorious liberty of the children of God.\” (Oswald Chambers)

I agree Leslie. I know I have done things to hurt others and have tried to right those wrongs. And you are so right forgiveness is freedom. Though I may never forget some of the things from my past I have forgiven my abusers and it was truly freeing. I believe many of my blessings in life are because I chose to forgive, move on and continue to put God first in every part of my life.
