It can be a black cloud that follows a person around surrounding them in constant shade. Not everyone has the capacity to immediately or eventually offer forgiveness to whatever wrong doing had been put in front of him or her. In Sittser’s case, it was the unforgiveness which was going to undo him, “I was beginning to harbor hatred in my heart, and I was edging toward becoming an unforgiving person. The very thought of forgiving seemed abhorrent to me. I realized at that moment that I had to forgive. If not, I would be consumed by my unforgiveness” (p. 135). It is important to let go and allow forgiveness, if not, the built-up emotions can follow a person forever. At times, it can be easier to offer oneself to God and allow His light to guide one towards forgiveness. “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit” (Psalm
