Just say to Him, 'Lord, I cannot forgive and I will no longer try to do it but I trust that You in me will do it. I can't forgive and love but I trust that You will forgive and love in my place and that You will do these things in me.'

Jesus said, 'And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age' (Matt. 28:20). When it’s necessary, He suddenly says, 'I’m still here!'
