Another aspect of responsibility is letting go of anger, resentment, and bitterness by admitting that these have caused you to sin against someone. I don’t know what has happened in your life, but we have all experienced things that have caused us pain. Harboring anger leads us to sin because it gives the enemy a foothold in your heart.
