Forgiveness says:
I refuse to babysit these horrible emotions any longer.
I refuse to allow the person who hurt me to continue
to have this power over my emotions.
Consider this statement: Holding onto unforgiveness is like continually drinking rat poison, hoping the rat will die.
Are you drinking the poison of unforgiveness, hoping it will somehow hurt the person who hurt you?

I am very bitter and I hold a strong grudge against her. I know that this is tearing my life apart and I need to let go of the hate in my heart and forgive her. It is just so hard. I almost don’t feel like I should forgive her, yet I am the one hurting because of it.”
