Why is it hard to forgive?

It always seems easier to say I\'ve forgiven someone, but it\'s hard to truly forgive. Why is that? For me, I think it comes down to whether I trust God or not. If I really trusted that God was in control, I think I would be more able to forgive.

But I want them to pay for what they did to me. I don\'t really think God knows what He\'s doing. I like to say things like, \"I forgive them BUT...\" which isn\'t really forgiveness. Real forgiveness is, \"I forgive you, and I\'m going to let God decide what consequences are appropriate.\"
