Unparalyzed from Unforgiveness

Breaking Free from Unforgiveness: Cecily’s Journey to Healing

Unforgiveness has the power to silently paralyze us. It weaves itself into our hearts and minds, affecting our health, our joy, and the way we see ourselves and others. Many carry this burden without fully realizing how deeply it holds them back.

Cecily understands this all too well.

She shared that for years she tried to figure out how to do life the “right” way. Like many of us, she made choices she wasn’t proud of. She judged herself harshly and held onto guilt. On top of that, the judgment she felt from others led to anger and a hardened heart. Resentment and bitterness became her defense mechanism.

Can you relate?

Her Christian spiritual breakthrough came when she made the decision to release it all—every ounce of bitterness, every grudge, every harsh word spoken over her life. She chose to forgive those around her and, just as importantly, she chose to forgive herself.

“I’m living a new life now,” she told us, her face glowing with a smile that radiates peace and freedom.

That smile carries more than happiness. It reflects true healing. Cecily is now living in alignment with the truth of her value—a woman renewed in mind, heart, and spirit. A woman who chose to believe she was worthy of grace.

One of her favorite songs, The Anchor Holds, perfectly captures her story. It speaks of the storms of life and the moment everything changes:

“And then I met Jesus… the Anchor holds.”

God’s Invitation to Forgiveness and Freedom

Forgiveness is a central theme throughout Scripture. The Bible speaks of it more than 146 times, because it is essential to experiencing the freedom that comes with true transformation. It is at the heart of every faith-based personal development journey.

If you’re struggling to forgive someone, remember this:

Forgiveness doesn’t excuse what was done. It doesn’t mean the other person was right. It means you are choosing to be free.

Forgiveness is for your healing.

Boundaries may still be necessary. Conversations may be needed. But forgiveness is a decision to no longer carry the weight of pain that was never yours to keep.

If you’re struggling to forgive yourself, you are not alone. Everyone makes mistakes. Recognizing your need for growth, seeking forgiveness, and choosing to learn is a powerful step forward. Extend compassion to yourself. Speak truth over your life. God still sees your worth.

And if you’re angry at God, you’re not the first. Life brings deep disappointment and tragedy. But God isn’t absent in your pain. He is present with you. Be honest with Him. Cry out, question, reflect. Let Him meet you there. Read His Word and discover His character for yourself. When you do, your heart will begin to heal in ways only He can bring.

You don’t have to stay bound.

You don’t have to carry bitterness another day.

You, too, can become Unparalyzed.
