Has someone ever said or done something to you for which you found it difficult to forgive them? Every time their very name is brought up, even if it was years ago, it still brings butterflies to your stomach. When you think of them, your heart rate increases. And you can feel your blood pressure rising when you think of what they said or did. It’s as though you were reliving it again, just thinking about it! If so, it may be that you are in the bonds of bitterness.
