We've all been hurt ... and some of us have an identified BULLY that caused us harm.  There's a pseudo power in holding a grudge against that bully.

This episode is how our unhealed hurt can freeze an unfair picture of that person in our mind and heart -- in current day they may regret their behavior, be a kinder, gentler version of who they used to be.  But our ego and/or our hurt can keep us from seeing that version that may even be in clear view.  

Forgiveness doesn't change the past, but it can change the hold that the past has on you.  

Matthew 6:14-15
