It's common in life and probably it happens without realizing it, and eventually it's like a snowball, and find it hard to forgive. Sometimes we are so fear to be hurt again and choose not to forgive. Some people may just forget about the hatred incident/person, but does it means she/he has forgive?
Today i learnt the meaning of forgiving in different generation (or to be exact, dispensation)from Pastor Patrick.
In time past, human forgive others because they want to gain God's forgiveness upon themselves.
Matthew 6:14-15
For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
But now,Ephesians 4:32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
The different is now we are living in grace, God has forgiven us before we let down our guard to forgive others.
Think, even God, the mighty one could be so gracious to us, why not we? Probably we just having fear to be hurt again.....
And how to forgive?? I think is by loving the person.
Put off the hatred, and put on love!!
Ps Patrick wassharing with us
