and
it is perhaps the greatest block
to emotional and spiritual healing.
It
gives room to bitterness, anger, hurt, rage
and other tangled
emotions
that
block our emotional and spiritual growth.
Unforgiveness
creates an inner prison,
and
the only key to open the prison door is forgiveness.
Our
prayer should always be that God would overcome our pride,
stubbornness
and desire for revenge,
and
bring us quickly to forgive
so
that we may receive his abundant mercy and forgiveness ourselves"

Healing, pg 93
