Secular teachers often contradict Scripture.
But some things in life are so obvious that they can't be denied.
That's why most secular teachers will agree that forgiveness is healthy.
Forgiveness reduces stress, thus improving health and overall well-being.
Bitterness is always destructive. Always.
God's Word is often denied by modern authorities, but in this case, no one can argue with the proof.
It just can't be denied.
So read through these verses below, and if there's anyone you haven't forgiven, do it now!
Colossians 3:13: "Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you."
Ephesians 4:32: "Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you."
Mark 11:25: "And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins."
Luke 6:37: "Forgive, and you will be forgiven."
I've found this to be true as well. Forgiveness is healthy! It frees our hearts. The one thing that the secular accounts don't mention is that by forgiving others, we can also have the reassurance that when we forgive, we are placing the offending person into God's hands. We can trust that God will work on their hearts as well.

We should forgive because the only one unforgiveness hurts is us
