Forgiveness is crucial for personal peace. Anger and sarcasm can be barriers to recovery. Finding a personal understanding of God is important. Self-forgiveness is just as important as forgiving others. Resentment leads to unhappiness and wasted time.
I had to ask for forgiveness, and I had to forgive the God of my misunderstanding.
