Why is forgiving so difficult?

Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
-Ephesians 4:32

Dang it, why is this so difficult. Why have I still not forgiven those who had hurt me at one point? 
The smallest of matters- I still haven't forgiven. I'm still bitter about things that had happened in the past, e.g. The friend who had unintentionally rubbed it in my face that she got an almost perfect score in an exam while I sulked about my own low score. Or every time I'm called 'poop' because I'm going to Ignite. 

Why have I not forgiven them? Why does this bitterness still linger in my heart? 

Look to God's grace and mercy. His sacrifice for you was so much greater, so much more painful. His anger towards you is a lot more deserving than your own bitterness. Your sin is so great, yet God bore it all. He forgave you. Now forgive others.

A "short" update

By Annie
Huh, it's been quite a while since I've posted here. Trials are creeping closer and closer, and you can't say I'm not stressed. But at the same time I haven't been the most productive person...in fact, I must say I'm very lazy. Less than 2 weeks til trials and I'm sitting here writing a blog. Here's how I've been going. All the drama's died down since last time, thankfully. I'm learning to let it go and not let it bother me as much. At the moment it seems that my parents are keeping a close watch on my sister, and God willing, it won't happen again. In terms of Barney, I can't say I don't have feelings towards him anymore, but it has been better. I guess I'm able to be comfortable around him again. My pain has returned, but what can I do. My menstrual cycle is currently terrible- I think I've bled for almost a month now. The pain is as usual, a pain- especially to manage because my meds haven't been of use lately....

Apparently not stressed enough.

Why don't my parents do the HSC if they think it's so easy? So, basically, I got my report last night and when my dad saw it, he just kept repeating the fact that my marks were crap and that I'm doing horribly. "You should be the top of the school" My mum wasn't any better, saying that I didn't do well and I need to work harder. Why do they only look at extension maths? I KNOW I FAILED IT. As if I don't feel crappy already. Don't cry. You can't cry.  You're not allowed to cry.
