					<description><![CDATA[If Bible chapters were months of the year, 1 Corinthians chapter 13 would be February. It&#8217;s often called the &#8220;love&#8221; chapter, and for good reason, as you see here.

But simply adding the &#8220;un&#8221; doesn&#8217;t help us get at the core questions—and answers—about unforgiveness. Why do we harbor unforgiveness? Why do we struggle to forgive? Why is it sometimes so hard to genuinely let something go? Volumes have been written and preached on this topic. [&#8230;]]]></description>
