Jesus told the apostle Peter in Matthew 18:21, 22 when asked about forgiveness the following,"21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven." When God forgives He also forgets our sins, but being human this is an almost impossible task, even for the Christian. To continue in life with an unforgiving heart will create so much unhappiness that life can become impossible and requires healing that only God can give.

It's always better and healthier to let the grudges go, because bitterness just eats at you and doesn't affect Bodily the person against whom you are holding grudge.
And, as you have come to this knowledge on your own, shows you are growing wiser!!
Congratulations, wandering Girl, 'cause some folks never come to that stage.

Indeed. I'm not a Christian, but I was once sitting through a great sermon. The pastor had said:
Holding grudges are like holding hot iron in your hands. You hold it in your hands, in pain, also in attempt to show others the burning pain you are going through. However, you do not realize that you can just drop the blazing iron for your hands to heal. Your hands can always heal from burns, but, if it is too late, your hands will burn off, and never again will you be able to hold anything.

Holding grudges, hatred(?), does only you harm. Most of the time the one you have the grudge against has forgotten all about it.

That is a big step in becoming a whole person. The past is past and what happened then does not affect what you do right now. Release that anger or pain and live the rest of your life without it. Congratulations!

I don't hold grudges. I just keep track. And if it's one time to many, then I guess I'll be avoiding that in the future.

Grudges will enable you be bigger and let go.
Not saying that you will forget but let go and be kind if you can.
If it continues with the same person then let go to them. Their loss.
