Forgiving has been a huge issue in my personal life. I have carried my anger against a few people and even to some of my family members, who deeply hurt me for many years. I have carried this hurt and anger for years and believe me it was not funny.

Unforgiveness is a very destructive emotion and it leads me to get even and do something very revengeful against all these people who have hurt me deeply. The anger that I felt and hid in my heart has been eating me inside. It has built so much hatred in me that I wanted to do something against them, to make them pay for what they did to me. Unforgiveness has made me a very unhappy person, yet I smile and laugh. The smile is just temporary because everything comes back when someone begins to poke it over and over. The hurt and pain returns to me of what those people did to me.
How can I overcome the anger and hurt that causes hatred that I hid in my heart for years?
I went through a lot trying to act as if everything was okay. I keep distance from people to cut out the memories.

Time heals all wounds they say, but in my case, NO. I hold the hurt and pain for years and time didn’t heal it. Time is needed for me to ease the hurt but definitely not heal it.
Forgiving is difficult unless you open your heart and we are ready to get healed. Years passed by, but if you’re not ready to forgive and get over the hurt and pain then nothing will change.

In the LORD’S prayer we say: And forgive my debts as we forgive our debtors, in this we ask GOD to forgive our sins on the same attitude as we forgive others [Matt 6:12]. In 1Peter 5:7 Casting all your care upon HIM for HE cares for you. GOD wants us to walk in HIS freedom and when we hold onto hurts and unforgiveness we are in bondage to that person who hurt us but when we turn all the hurts and pain to JESUS we begin to live a free life
