Welcome to the InTouch podcast with Charles Stanley for Friday, February 17th.

Most people would agree that people see more and more easily offended these days.

But how will you react to injustice?

Today's lesson teaches us how to evade the landmine of unforgiveness.

Somebody hurt you. They hurt you badly.

You feel the pain of it and you just can't get rid of it.

Sometimes you feel like if you could just get back.

If you could just take revenge.

If somehow you could make them pay in some fashion, you'd feel better.

But the truth is you rid it, wouldn't.

But you feel that way.

And so you take this with you day after day after day.

And what you don't realize is what's happening is a result of not dealing with that unforgiving spirit quickly.

Bitterness begins to set in in your life.

It takes a deep, deep root. It begins to affect every single aspect of your life.

You keep denying it as if it never happened.

But it is happening. It is making its impact upon your life.

It's affecting you in ways that you realize, it's affecting you in ways that you do not realize.

It is never the will of God to have an unforgiving spirit to hold something against anyone no matter what.

So what do we do? How do we deal with it?

What does God think about it? You know, some of the times today people say, well, here's what I think.

And here's what I believe.
