Holding a Grudge is Too Much Work!!

The worst thing we can do is hold a grudge against someone. It's not healthy for us at all. If we have hate and anger towards people that just makes us ugly and hard hearted. We need to look at our own lives and our own actions and see if that's what played a roll in a person doing wrong towards us. I've been told I'm too easily forgiving. I can't agree with that. I forgive because I love. It doesn't matter what a person has done to me, I love them and forgive them because God is good enough to love me and forgive me when I fall. If there are people in your life who treat you badly or don't add anything positive to your life, distance yourself from them. I don't agree with completely leaving them in the dark and never speaking to them again. You should pray for them, smooth things over, let them know that you've forgiven them and that no matter what, you love them!! It takes more energy to hate and be angry at someone than it does to just simply love and forgive them!!

Matthew 6:14-15
For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.


God Bless,
Emily
