Ephesian 4:32 tells us to, “Be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.” But have you ever considered applying this verse personally as Corrie ten Boom suggested here? Think of as part of self-care…to be kind and forgiving to yourself just as Jesus gave His example to follow. Personal unforgiveness confines and can even define who we are. It holds us captive as we only focus on the wrong that was done to us. Finally, unforgiveness deprives us of the freedom to move forward in our life, as we are chained to the past. So the key here, both figuratively & symbolically, is that forgiveness will open the prison door and let us walk free.
