Jakes says it best, &#8216;unforgiveness unchecked becomes a cancer in the soul.&#8217; Unforgiveness doesn&#8217;t stay in one isolated area where it started; it spreads into other areas of life.&nbsp; It begins to affect our children, relationships, moods and behavior.&nbsp; It eats up personality and creativity. Unforgiveness empowers history at the expense of destiny!&nbsp; That&#8217;s too much of a price for me to pay!<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 11pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;

And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.&nbsp; But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses, Mark 11:25-26.&nbsp; I decided a long time ago, that an apology doesn&#8217;t always mean I&#8217;m wrong, it simply means I value my relationships, my children, my marriage, my future and destiny more than my ego!<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;
