Did you ever carry a grudge? A past hurt, something that you just never were able to let go of? One of those things where you know that person probably forgot, or didn't even know, that what they did or said was hurtful to you?
Well, a few weeks ago I ran slap into one of those people. The funny thing is, I thought I'd let it go. But as soon as I first saw them, all of those past memories bubbled up to the surface. Not good. So I did what any self-respecting normal human being would do...I avoided them like the plague. It's not something I'm particularly proud of.
Of course, God didn't let me get away with that one, no sir-ee. Today I met up with a group of friends and there was this person.
Oh Lord, do I have to deal with this now?
You know what His answer was? "Yep, you do."
Okay, I surrender all of this to You. I forgive this person...it is time. It's been more than 15 years, and that's pretty sad when you consider I am only 24. And let me tell you, I feel lighter already. It was almost instantaneous.
Is there anyone in your life that you need to forgive or anything you need to let go of? What relationships in your life are hindered because of unforgiveness?
