In Christian circles, sometimes it is taboo to say that we are sad, discouraged, angry, or disappointed. A good Christian should always be cheerful, they say! Yet our soul is a gift from God and we must take care of it.

Being a victim of gossip can hurt. Not to mention rejection, infidelity or betrayal! These wounds are very painful. The way to heal is by forgiveness, but some people just can’t forgive. How come?

As Children of God, we choose to forgive those who hurt us. Then, we believe that everything is settled. Now, sometimes, anger resurfaces after a while. Does that mean we hadn’t really forgiven them? Not necessarily.
