God, Please Help Me Forgive

If there is one thing in this world that I struggle with, that's forgiveness. True forgiveness. 

I forgive my kids at work for stuff all the time, but it's small things. That's not where my struggle lies. It's the big things. There are a few people in my life that I hold many grudges against. I haven't been able to forgive them of the hurtful things they have done. 

I don't want to hold grudges. You can't go to Heaven holding a grudge. Again, it's a very difficult struggle. I work on it, them something else happens and it's like my work was destroyed. 

I know where key verses in the Bible are that refer to forgiveness. I read them, I know them, but I don't follow them. I HAVE tried, but apparently not hard enough. 

This is something that I'm going to try, once again, to accomplish. The hardest part I think is going to be having the strength to let them know that I have forgiven them. When I actually have. Once and for all. 

God give me strength. 

Prayers.
