{your negativity is killin' me}

Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice.Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. 
{Ephesians 4:31-32}

 a few things that i feel God has helped me realize to help me move on from grudges are:

1. i am not one to judge- God is the ultimate Judge
2. i do not know their heart- God knows their heart (and mine) and STILL wants best for that person
3. i want others to forgive me, so i need to forgive them
4. holding a grudge KILLS my joy!
5. not moving on shows signs of immaturity

holding a grudge is feeding a monster of destruction and resentment. if we love Jesus, then we need to understand that because of Jesus' great love, and because of the cross, who are we NOT to forgive?  because of who Jesus is, and because He so easily forgives us, we can bite our tongues and choose JOY and moving on.

how many grudges are you holding?
