Rev,
I agree wholeheartedly with your statement. I will, however, add something to it. As one who was lost in a forest of bitterness for 18 years that all began with a single root, I confess that there was A hurdle jumped when I forgave those who I felt had wounded me but it was not the final hurdle. About 4 months after having been "healed" by forgiving Jesus very powerfully asked me a question he asked others often, "wilt thou be made WHOLE?". The instruction He gave me for moving from healing to wholeness in this area of bitterness was to go beyond forgiving to being forgiven. He instructed me to go to all that I had held aught against and spoken evil against and ask them to forgive ME! You can not imagine the complete release and wholeness that pervaded my life once I followed his simple, humbling instruction!
