Well, Jesus said if we forgive other people, God will forgive us. But, if we don't forgive other people, neither will God forgive us. It's not that people "deserve" forgiveness, but we ourselves deserve to cut the chain of illwill that links us to a hostile event in time. We owe it to ourselves to forgive people so that we can move on.

I don't have a hard time forgiving someone. But, once someone crosses me, I'm pretty much done with them. I feel like this. How many times will I give someone the opportunity to do the same thing to me? Nah...

God is definitely more graceful than we are.
