 Here's something that may be difficult for you to hear. When you hold unforgiveness in your heart, you're not just hurting the person you refuse to forgive. And you're not just hurting yourself. You're hurting the Holy Spirit. Make every effort to keep yourselves united in the Spirit, binding yourselves together with peace. Unity and peace come from the Holy Spirit. So, if you're withholding forgiveness, you're resisting the work of the Holy Spirit in your life. No, it's not always easy to forgive. But until you admit that you need to forgive, you won't be able to cooperate with the Holy Spirit in this area.
