Resentment and forgiveness (perhaps unpopular view)

“When you hold resentment toward another, you are bound to that person or condition by an emotional link that is stronger than steel. Forgiveness is the only way to dissolve that link and get free.”
Catherine Ponder

Actually I disagree with this to a certain extent. I don't believe that human beings are responsible for forgiveness, it's too big of a job for humans. 

I consider that God's job. As human beings our job is to give ourselves permission to LET GO of the control or binds that keep us connected to resentment. 

That we CAN do and need to do when we are bound by resentment.
