       Now, I understand, as so does God, that there are certain things people can do to us that are on a more grander scale, and when that happens it may take a more concerted effort on our part to forgive the person whose has done your wrong. But we have to work at forgiving the individual. One thing I would recommend to you is that when you realize you haven’t forgiven a person of something, to just speak the forgiveness out loud when you are by yourself. Say, “I forgive this person of the offense against me. And I will no longer hold it against him.” When we speak this out loud, it makes it more real for us. And, if we have to, we can keep speaking it until it settles into our heart, until our minds gain realization of this truth and accept it. Bottom line, it’s good for us to verbalize our forgiveness, as that makes it so that there is nothing hidden between us and God. The reality is, we let outside things, the problems in life, offenses from other people, etc, bother us only as much as we choose or want to.
