Now you may have read the title and though "What do anger, fear and forgiveness have in common?" A year ago I probably would have answered "Not much!" Even two months ago I would have said it was a stretch. The Women's Retreat showed that there was definitely a correlation. Yesterday I met with Kathryn and the correlation went from abstract to concrete in less than three hours.
Hurt causes anger and fear. Or fear and anger, depending on the hurt that was inflicted. Unfortunately, the only way to rid yourself of the anger and the fear is through forgiveness. Let me be clear on this: I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO DO THIS.... YET. I am not here to make anyone feel guilty about unforgiveness, anger or fear. I am here to say simply I have started a new part of the journey to freedom and at the root of this level is forgiveness.
