Unforgiveness is a strategic "design, " craftily implemented by you enemy to "outwit" you, to cripple your effectiveness in prayer and your power to stand against him victoriously. Which is why, if I were your enemy, I would do everything possible to keep you from forgiving anyone and everyone who's done you any wrong. Priscilla Shirer
About This Quote

You must remember this: When you forgive, you do not forget. Forgiveness doesn't mean condoning the behavior and allowing the person to get away with it. When you forgive, you are actually saying that the person is not as bad as he or she appeared to be. You have now determined that this individual does have redeeming qualities. In forgiving, you are demonstrating that you have a forgiving heart as well as a forgiving spirit.
