Forgive and forget

Forgiveness is a choice. It is a choice you make for yourself. You do not just forgive for someone else's sake; you do it for your own sake. It is the only way to be free of the anger in the depth of your heart and from the bitterness that is a result from the betrayal. When we hold unforgiveness in our heart, it goes completely against God's advice to us.

Romans 12:19

Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written, 'It is mine to avenge, I will repay,' says the Lord If you have been wronged and it is hanging on and dragging your spirit down, acknowledge the hurt and the hate. Then make a choice to forgive the offending person. Release the situation to God's care and He will deal fairly with him
