Forgiveness

 I’m reading Wuthering Heights, again, and the presents of unforgiveness has really jumped out at me.  How most of the story is based on the inability to forgive.They all hate Hindley for his oppression over them during childhood and as adults they were never able to forgive him. All the hatred they had stored in their hearts gave them no room to really love or forgive others. Well that’s part of it anyway. It just proves that holding a grudge and wanting revenge will get you no where in life. You need to have a forgiving eart and put it behind you.   The verse from Matthew 18:22 that says to forgive your brother “not seven times, but seventy-seven times” just keeps coming to mind as i continue to read this book. If they would have just forgave the people that had sinned against them their whole lives would have been different.  Wuthering Heights is a really great book. The way Emily Bronte wrote this book can make you just fall in love with the characters.  It is kinda hard to get through but once i finished it i wanted to read it again!! I hope you will take time to read this book, if you let yourself you can learn alot from it.
