We are not transformed by information or head knowledge. We are transformed by submission to a Person that we honor and esteem and [even] worship. That is why our time with Him in our prayer closets has the ability to do more good for us than most anything else. God would have all men (people) to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. God also knows that time must be allotted for that task to be done. We desire instant 'justice' (revenge?), but God desires a permanent change in the one who done-us-wrong. As we truly pray for those who hurt us--either on purpose or through insensitivity--we ask that HIS heart and mind be transplanted into that person.
So, we must willfully forgive, and pray "Hurry up, Lord!" And with me, too.
