Poison in Your Soul - #6225
You've been the forgivee - now you become the forgiver. Or you store poison in your soul; poison that will cripple or destroy so much that could have been. It's time for the antidote. It's time to be free. It's time to forgive.

Altar - a Christian perspective
Christians are exhorted to settle any personal grudges or issues before going to the altar of God in worship. Exercising Christlike grace and forgiveness in our lives take precedence over religious duties.

Cutting the Cord That Slows You Down - #3494
The ironic thing about not forgiving someone is that our grudge actually ties us to them emotionally. We think about them a lot; they are a main character in what replays in our mind all the time. The very person you don't want to be tied to you are tied to by your bitterness toward them. That's why you haven't been able to run emotionally.

Grudge - a Christian perspective
God doesn't want arguments or bitterness to take root in the church. Here, Christians are explicitly commanded to avoid grumbling or bearing grudges against each other.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Deadly Baggage - #3872
Too much baggage can cause a plane to crash. In fact, it can make a person crash, too. When you're carrying around a lot of emotional and spiritual baggage, it can really weigh you down - and make it very hard for you to fly or reach your destination. And these days, a lot of us are carrying around a lot of baggage. That could be what's holding you back - and even making you crash sometimes.
