Forgiveness

Forgiveness is always surrendering a resentment

Accepting a situation for being exactly the way it is 

To not forgive is always to hold on to a resentment

To not accept the situation for being what it is right now

A resentment is just polite anger

I have to remember that all anger is a spiritual malady

Justifiable anger is a luxury for normal people

A resentment is always about me not the other person (they are just the subject)

A resentment is always my anger directed at God - because things are not going my way

I must work on letting go of anger and resentment

When it comes up I have to pray for acceptance and surrender
