That a person who cannot forgive easily, is tortured repeatedly by his/her own recollections of the wrong inflicted upon them? They rehearse the injury regularly, and become expert in holding on to pain. This is very unprofitable. It disfigures the soul, and renders it incapable of experiencing the release of rancor.. and the richness of the power of forgiveness. Man was not created to compress hurt. Doing so results in it manifesting itself in odd, eccentric, and egregious behaviors. Therapy is a must, for those trapped in this barren wasteland. Prayer and tasting, competent psychological counselling, and regular confession of the power of God's love dominating one's life...are essential for wholeness. As Jesus Himself admonished His disciples with these words.. so must we hearken unto His wise counsel. " For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But it you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses..." - Matt. 16:14 - 15 (NKJV).
