In many cases involving minor transgressions, you can either settle the situation in your heart.. " and keep silent" or approach the offender and discuss the issue. { Psalm 4:4 } { Matthew 5:23,24 }
Either way, it is best to put the matter to rest quickly so resentment does not fester and breed tragic results. { Ephesians 4:31 }
Jehovah forgives our sins freely, even sins that we in ignorance may not be aware of committing. Can we likewise forgive the minor transgression of a fellow human ? { Colossians 3:13 } 1 Peter: 4: 8}
Interesting, the Greek word for " forgive " literally means " to let go of. Forgiveness does not require that we minimize or condone the wrong. At that times it may simply involve letting go of the situation, realizing that harboring resentment will only add to your burden and disrupt the unity of the Christian congregation.
Further , it can be detrimental to you health to harbor resentment. { Psalm 103:9 }
