Forgiveness

The most difficult thing I have had to forgive.
How do you describe that without dragging the forgiven person through the mud? SO I will write one of my very best friend's favourite saying:

Unforgiveness is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die.

I drank a lot of poison before I truly forgave this person.  But I did not like who I was becoming, I was dying. So, I quit drinking the poison and started taking the antidote, forgiveness.  Sometimes it takes a bit for the counter action to occur but it did.  I guess it just depends on how much you have let the poison enter your heart.  :-)
