If you think any of these reasons are true, than don't forgive. Remember this though...
"When your sins weigh heavily upon you, come to me. Confess your wrongdoing, which I know all about before you say a word. Stay in the Light of My Presence, receiving forgiveness, cleansing, and healing. Remember that I have clothed you in My righteousness, so nothing can separate you from Me. Whenever you stumble or fall, I am there to help you up.
Man's tendency is to hide from sin, seeking refuge in the darkness. There he indulges in self-pity, denial, self-righteousness, blaming, and hatred. But I am the Light of the word, and My illumination decimates the darkness. Come close to me and let My light envelop you, driving out darkness and permeating you with Peace."
From Jesus Calling by Sarah Young
