Everytime those feelings creep in, and your mind takes over, that's when God's grace starts working, and you find the strength to forgive again. And it does get easier...but does that mean there will never be a time again that you just get so stinkin mad at that person? NO! It happens...like you said, it kind of sneaks up on you...but if we can control our thoughts by only allowing the word of God to come in, that will happen less and less, and you will finally be able to forgive once and for all. As a survivor of childhood sexual abuse at the hands of my grandfather, I can tell you it was a LONG time before I could live without those thoughts sneaking into my head. And everything I am...every hang up I have...every insecurity, personality flaw, and even my weight, is a result of that situation with that man. But before I could work on these areas in my life, I had to forgive him...not for him...but for ME! And I heard Joyce Meyers say that if we refuse to forgive, God will not be able to help us in our prayers to Him, because forgiveness is just that important to Him. So is it easy...not always. Will you get there...YES YOU WILL! Because you are a daughter of an amazing, forgiving Father, who loves you so much, and you can do it all. Some day there will no longer be any anger, only joy in your heart, because when you truely forgive, that's what you will feel...and when I ask you how you are doing, you can say "amazing"!
