So when we believe that someone has "done me wrong", we have judged that person, we have condemned then. The prophecy may home no effect on them who it was it was directed to, but, it does have a significant effect on us, by this prophecy we have proclaimed ourselves judge, jury and executioner. Forgiveness is the only way out.
This is the real power of forgiveness.
Forgiveness offers opportunity to free the world from our own condemnation of it. Forgiveness frees us from the world and the people that we have condemned by our judgement again them. As we have judged/condemned then, we have judged and condemned ourselves as well.
it takes time for find forgiveness in our heart after such great pain and grief is thrust on us by this great betrayal. It takes time to sort things out in our minds before we can forgive, but when we do, it's like a gift to ourselves.
