As human beings it is sometimes difficult for us to forgp00ive others. Being frail and imperfect human beings we are quick to be angry, quick to blame but very slow to forgive or even slower to forget. Forgiveness is very difficult sometimes. When we are hurt and dissapointed it takes time to forgive but we should do so as soon as possible..Forgiveness is one of the commandments of God and should be followed. It is not for a certain group but for all.
When we can't forgive we are moving with hatred inside us which are like cancer. Over time it will destroy us and not the person we cannot forgive. I can speak from experience when my life was turned upside down and I hate the person so much. I couldn't sleep, was stressed and couldn't stop thinking. I lost weight and was in such a state that I asked the pastor to pray for me. I knew i wanted to forgive but didn't know how.Eventually I did and it was like a huge burden off my shoulders.
Yes, it is difficult to forgive. We hold so much inside. We keep a tally. But as you say, God expects us to forgive. It is the least that we can do for each other and ourselves.
I'm in the process of forgiving persons in my life who otherwise should be part of it. Until the time I can forgive them, it is 'never forget, never forgive!'.

I believe that forgiveness takes time and does not come overnight.
