... failure to forgive our fellow human beings denies us the chances of receiving forgiveness from God (Matt. 6:14-15). Hence, an unforgiving heart is not only an emotional burden but also a spiritual obstacle to receiving divine forgiveness. Forgiveness on the part of the offended fellow may not repay the damage an offense might have caused him or her, nevertheless it brings an emotional relief and healing to the heart and divine peace and joy to the soul. ... "Love keeps no record of offense." (1 Cor. 13:5) If you cannot forgive you cannot truly love. Let us choose not to nurse and feed our resentments; then they may eventually die of malnutrition. (2012 Bible Diary)
