In recently reading an email, one line caught my attention. The writer stated “My inability to forgive is eating me up and I need to get better.”
It’s one of those lines you may miss the importance of. I know I did the first time I read it. Her stating that it’s ‘eating me up’ conveys both pain along with something taking over her life.
Unforgiveness often takes over larger and larger portions of you. It takes over more of your thinking, more of your emotions, more of your time and more of your health.
It starts damaging and changing your organ systems. It keeps you unhealthy.
I’m often struck at how there’s a plethora of articles on the ‘power of forgiveness’ in dealing with medical issues, including cancer and various immunity problems.
Over and over again the medical establishment reports the benefits of forgiveness in healing. The healing part is nice to talk about, yet the dark part isn’t. Even though it’s not talked about much, it needs to be.
When forgiveness brings healing, it leaves you wondering what unforgiveness brings.
By implication, unforgiveness contributes to illness and dis-order. It disrupts your health.
Although she stated that unforgiveness was ‘eating me up’, she may be stumbling across a ‘plain truth’. The plain truth is that not only is her unforgiveness spreading, it’s eating away at her health. Nursing her hurt and grudge, which is related to an affair is making her sicker by the day.
Unforgiveness does that. In many ways it’s an illness on the installment plan.
I’ll tell you what the others don’t. Your unforgiveness is making you sick, and getting your sicker by the day.
Even though you may not be experiencing symptoms yet, the longer you remain unforgiving, your problems will shift from affair recovery to health dysfunction. It’s not a matter of if, it’s a matter of when.
I could tell you that “I believe in the Power of Forgiveness”. That also means “I believe in the Negative impact of unforgiveness” which sickens you with the same intensity that forgiveness brings healing.
I’ve seen the power of unforgiveness. I know what it does to people, poisoning their body, heart and minds.Those racing thoughts, stomach problems, sleep difficulties and high blood pressure are likely tied to your unforgiveness.
What begins as a choice eventually takes over and gives you little choice.
The good news is that you don’t have to stay unhealthy. You can let go of all that unforgiveness and the problems it brings, no matter how big they are or how many there are. My recent video, “Forgiveness: stop the Pain, Tear down walls and Remove the Roadblocks” will benefit you. You’ll be guided through ‘how’ to forgive.
You don’t have to keep on letting the affair hurt you, unless you want to. No affair is too big to be forgiven.
