To do this is very hard for some people, I am one of those people! Sometimes I can forgive right now and other times I can't do this at all. There are 2 people I need to forgive so I can move on, but have I done that? Heck NO! How hard is it for you to forgive? Does it depend on the person or the situation or both? For the two that I need to forgive one is the situation, one is both. How can I expect God to forgive me for my sins if I can't do the same for others? I totally struggle with this. Since Lent is just around the corner, maybe this is the time to try to forgive.
