In Africa they build cages to catch monkeys. The Africans leave a hole in the cage just big enough for the monkey to put its hand in to grab a piece of fruit. The African then comes around the bushes to hit the monkey over the head and kill it. The monkey screams as it see's the man coming. But the irony is that if the monkey would drop the fruit it could get away and not be killed. But it won't let go. How many of us are like those monkeys? Can't have a future if we hold onto the fruit of "unforgiveness" the past.<BR>God Bless<BR>Ginn

I brought this back up to the top because I'd like to see if any of you can relate to this story. When I heard it yesterday it hit me like a ton of bricks. Like the club the men use on the monkeys, except in a positive way. I have been holding onto the past and it is affecting me, my marriage, my family. My H and I have vowed to make a fresh start, to do so I believe I have to let go of the past to move on to the future. If I dwell on the past it binds not only my H but myself. I felt a new found freedom in letting go! Please give me insight about this subject and anyone who has found this freedom from past bondage of unforgiveness.<BR>Thanks <BR>Ginn
