Remember being a child and when a little kid took your toy or pushed you down you will be playing again in the next 5 sec as though nothing had ever happend. LOL
As an adult when someone does or say something that offends us we hold a grudge. We dont talk to them anymore or stop being their friend all together.
Imagine God treating us like we treat some of our peers or associates today.
God sees and knows all...That drank you had last night "He saw you", that lie you told "He heard you", that person you cursed out "He heard you", that man or women giving you the love that you want (fornication) "God was there"
God forgiveness us time after time after time and we just slap him in the face after repenting the same sin over and over God becomes death to your request until you do what He wants you to do.
We are forgiven for our sins because of the blood of Jesus "This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins." Matthew 26:28
This was on my heart to write because I often hold grudges towards people that hurt me, but if God is able to forgive me for my sins, why can't I forgive someone for hurting me.....

YAY! your first post and a very thought provoking one at that:) You are right, holding grudges hurts us more than the person that did the hurting.
