Grudges
Someone once said keeping a grudge is like drinking poison and expect the other person to die.
No one can move forward while holding back to grudges and resentments of the past.
It is not a question of the person being right or wrong, you are not forgiving because of them or because they deserve but because God has commanded us to forgive, that is why we do it.
"For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses." Matthew 6:14,15
Your heart does not want to forgive but you should pray for the person, mentioning her/his name and say I forgive you.
Then go to them and ask for forgiveness, don't go to them to argue or create more problems simply ask for forgiveness.
May God give you strength to get unstuck from this grudges.
I will post the last one tomorrow.
