The devil's goal is always to get us to hate and resent. To forgive is to defeat him. Indeed many of his minions on this earth wish to twist our hearts to justify their own hatred. To forgive them is to rob them of the victory they seek. Forgive often, and don't let anyone live in your own head rent-free. If someone is miserable they are likely to try to visit their misery on you, to make you afraid and worried and anxious so your own life matches theirs. Your emotions are not totally under your control, but to the degree they are, don't let them gain this victory. Fight, fight, and fight some more to find your godliness and happiness. It is your Christ-given right to something better. It was too costly for someone to take it from you. And when you find that place you can revel in it, revel in the light of God, which is greater than the darkness that threatens you. Sometimes forgiveness is the best revenge.
