Learning true forgiveness is an incredible gift of living with joy! Forgiveness releases us from bondage, and gives us new energy for life. Unforgiveness is a stranglehold that saps joy and life from us. We need to forgive those who have offended us and we need to ask for forgiveness for the wrongs we have done. The big issues in our lives often are resolved by practicing what my husband calls spiritual breathing: the art of forgiveness. Often very difficult, but worth the effort! There is a resulting freedom that opens the door for the fun that Debi shares in this chapter.
Consider your "issues", and see if the need for forgiveness is at the root of the problem.
