To Forgive and Be Set Free From Your Burden
Before
I was full of anger: at my father, at society, at the world. I hurt the people who loved me with my words and my decisions. I saw myself as a victim, and I kept telling myself that I could not change.
After
Christ gave me a new heart that is able to forgive. I apologised to my father after years of not speaking. For the first time in my life I felt true freedom: to forgive, and to be set free from your burden.
“Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice.”
