So true. It is a portal but here is something I learned some time ago. Forgiveness is in the will. You make an act of the will to forgive the person in Jesus's name and ask God to give them happiness in this world and the next. God honors the will. What we feel--the anger and resentment are just emotions. You just keep renouncing them in Jesus's name and reaffirm your will to forgive. The enemy has little power if you do this.
