Forgiveness

So what do you do when you try to forgive, but the past keeps coming back and biting you in the butt? I think this sermon today on temptation is kind of hitting me. I work so hard to forgive, but exactly when I think I have it figured out--I either think of a great way to hurt someone back or I see something that physically hurts my heart and encourages me in building walls of bitterness.

Jesus, I'm begging you, teach me how to truly forgive.

And if you think about it--my two faithful readers--pray for me and that either the relationships will be restored or that I can peacefully let them go.
