Forgiving is what we are specifically commanded to do by King Jesus. It is an act of faith. A forgiving heart is evidence of your election (2 Peter 3:1-11), of living a life that is worthy of the gospel (Philippians 1:27), and of being filled and empowered by the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 4:29-30). In short, it is the hallmark of Christian living.
For more of this, see Paul Tripp's blog at Desiring God : A Bitter Harvest?. It is helpful and full of practical advice.
