A Struggle to Forgive

Forgiving someone who has hurt us is extremely tough.  It is not something that comes natural.  We may think that we have forgiven someone and may even say that we have.  But....if you still feel bitterness or hurt when you see that person or speak of that person, then you truly have not forgiven.  In order for you to be completely forgiven, you must learn to completely forgive.  It can be a long process but once you HAVE been able to forgive that person, you will be benefit in so many different ways.  Forgive as quickly as you want to be forgiven.  The longer you hold resentment, anger, hurt, and bitterness, the longer you yourself stay bound in chains.
