Blog 6: holding onto something that you need to let go of?

I've admitted this before, I'm still extremely frustrated with my eldest brother, and the circumstances that have surrounded him. Do I love him, yes, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't upset. Each day is a work in progress. I have spent a lot of time asking God to help me with this situation, and I'm certainly taking steps towards forgiving him.

The definition of Forgiveness: Forgiveness is the mental, emotional, and spiritual process of letting go of resentment, indignation, or anger against another person for a perceived offense, difference, or mistake. It can also mean ceasing to demand punishment or restitution for transgressions, real or imagined.

In other words when I say I forgive you, I'm saying it's over, it's in the past, I don't hold it against him. and Thats so hard to do. So each day that's been my prayer. "God help me forgive him! Help me let go."
