So the Lord not only tells us to go to others when we're bitter or unforgiving towards them, but He covers both angles and also tells us to go to those who are bitter or angry towards us.

Both angles
Jesus says that if you come to Him with your offering in hand, and then remember that a brother has something against you, leave your offering, go to your brother, and make your offering after you're reconciled with your brother.
So the Lord not only tells us to go to others when we're bitter or unforgiving towards them, but He covers both angles and also tells us to go to those who are bitter or angry towards us.
Matthew 5:23-24

I was instructed to memorize this quote since I was a teen (12, ha). To accentuate this very important lesson the overseers of us teens would wisely monitor and keep close tabs on our interactions with others so that if I had any "flareups" or even said anything sharp that day to someone I would not be permitted to go to bed until I had sat down with that person talked through the issue and "made up". God bless them I can't imagine how much work that must have been to keep up with poring into all of us crazy kids.
