forgiveness...

Why is it so hard to forgive some wrongs? I am struggling ...I am trying...I really am. But my heart was so bruised I cannot stop thinking about this wrong. I find my mind wandering back to this offense several times a day. It pulls me down. I have tried replacing it with a prayer for the person that wronged me. I want to get past this... I really do! The person has asked for my forgiveness...I told this person that I forgave them. I truly am trying! And yet for some crazy reason the offense creeps into my mind and I feel bad. Any suggestions?

    1 - I think you are doing the right thing by taking it to Him in prayer. There are many things we cannot do in our humanness, but the Spirit through us can do anything!
    2 - Forgiveness is the GIFT you give YOURSELF. Forgiving will not make the offense all right, it will make YOU all right. God wants you to forgive for your own sake so that you will not be tortured with it for the rest of your life. (partial my Mother & Beth Moore paraphrase)
