You have built a prison by your choice to not forgive – you are the only prisoner and you have the only key. Use it.

How often we think that our unforgiveness is somehow limiting the actions or the joy of the perpetrator of some perceived offense. Perhaps we think it somehow punishes the perpetrator. It doesn't -- it only limits our own joy and locks US in the prison. This is an easy lesson to learn if we only think it through.
