Forgiveness only happens with Forgiveness

[Jermyn Davidson]

Is it possible for a man to have have hurt, bitterness, and unforgiveness in his heart and NOT know it?

Is it possible for a person to even be hateful and not know that he is wrong?

Is it possible to be blinded by one's desires? The heart is deceitful and desperately wicked. Who can know it?

An un-regenerated man may possibly be blinded or become unaware of having bitterness esp after a long time. A born again Christian, on the other hand, would probably be more aware of what's going on in his heart and mind because God is light and he exposes that which is in the dark. If a Christian refuses to follow the voice of God's Spirit, his heart may become hardened and he might become blind to his own ways. Just my thoughts.

'hateful' easily becomes justified as 'righteous indignation,' etc. in many minds.
