Unforgiving people are usually angry and bitter, how exhausting! That kind of energy is much better spent almost ANY other way! Great message, Jean.

You know my friend, Jean, the believer will never put the question for he knows there is only one answer: Jesus! Well done, my friend!

Thank you Demetrios, Jesus helps us when we can't forgive even when we know that we should but can't. 'To err is to be human, but to forgive is divine.' Blessings my friend. from Jean

Oops, I got a bit mixed up and wrote 7 5 7 instead of 5 7 5 (Haiku)!!
