On the first part I meant that many have suggested that you pray for a person you are angry at, or have a resentment, each day for 1-2 weeks. You pray for their well being.
Otherwise I think you are OPEN and WILLING. That is what I have needed to do.
I had a massive anger and resentment at my son’s mother for moving to the other side of the country and then demanding huge child support. Everyone was on my side that she was and continued to be “the bad one” (wasted the child support / neglected my son / yes I tried with the lawyers but the law was on her side / ect). Years of this tearing away (I was the one drinking the poison) at me led me to seek help.
Today, I have FULLY forgiven her. This has taken years to get to this place. Man it feels great!
SHE didn’t change, the only person I can change is myself.
