"Whosoever shall do and teach [the commandments], the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. God is very grateful for those who preach his gospel. He blesses missionaries in this life, and in the life to come. Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. Leaving the gift at the alter may appear to be a "breach of liturgical propriety," but a sacrifice unfinished is better than "a wrong unconfessed and unatoned for," and better than the sin of unforgiving (http://biblehub.com/commentaries/matthew/5-24.htm).
To be forgiven by Jesus, we must forgive others. As Jesus instructed in modern times, "I, the Lord, will forgive whom I will forgive, but of you it is required to forgive all men." (Doctrine and Covenants 64:10). Forgiveness can be hard, but it is always worth it.
