Time to open your heart; forgive and move on. It’s not healthy for you to hold grudges for another’s personal indiscretions for so long.
You can tell when someone has not received the life-changing experience of being saved & forgiven when they point to someone’s “old man” and assume that the person is still the same as they were.
2 Cor 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!
“Time to open your heart; forgive and move on. It’s not healthy for you to hold grudges for another’s personal indiscretions for so long.”
As an unmarried young Catholic, I find this statement offensive.
Yes, faith is important, and it’s important to obey what the church teaches, especially when it goes against your natural inclinations.
