The consuming fire of unforgiveness

The fire of unforgiveness. I listened to the words of the victim's mother in the Pistorius case in South Africa. She was asked why she had decided to forgive the accused of the murder of her daughter. And she answered in this line:  I do not want to burn up with unforgiveness.
I was thinking, so true and what a brave woman she is!!
Unforgivness or bitterness is a fire which consumes us on the inside. We become so consumed by the offenses and the offenders that we become like a house in ruins.
Father help us to live in the River of Grace where these fires die and we recieve refreshing and healing. This goes indivuduals and for nations too!
