There are several reasons why people refuse to release others who have trespassed.
1. We believe we are in the right and they are in the wrong, and we wait for the other person to get the revelation of the error of their ways, humbling himself or herself before us and confessing he or she was in the wrong. If you wait for the other person, you may go to your grave disappointed.
The second reason we hold back iisthe idea that the other person is so wrong in his attitude that God will judge him fofor his actions, and thus we leave him alone in hope that God will smite him in some manner to teach him a lesson and bring him crawling back to say, 'I AM SORRY'
THE third reason is we do not understand the importance of forgiveness, that it is not just to release the other person, but forgiving others is actually for us, to prevent our blessings from being restrained and hindered through unforgiveness.
The fourth reason is a five lettered word called P-R-I-D-E. Our love for self and our personal ego are stronger than our common sense and spiritual motivation. If I am commanded in the word, then I must choose to agree with and follow the command to release the blessings of the covenant.
