He shared the situation with me and asked me what to do. We had such a neat time of talking and sharing our feelings and hearts with each other. I explained to him that forgiving someone is more for you than for them. That when you hold on to that anger, it's only affecting you and growing bitterness in your heart. That bitterness ends up controlling you and discolors everything and everyone you see. It leaves a sour taste in your mouth and everyone who comes in contact with you.
I told him how I really love the song by Matthew West with the aptly named title "Forgiveness". We turned the song up real loud, sat and listened to it, let the truth of the words fill our souls and just enjoyed the moment of learning together. God knows I needed it as much as he did. A while after the song was over he came up to me sporting a huge grin and announced, "Mom, I let it go. I feel better now."
