But, you do

Have you ever held a grudge? I mean, you just could not let it go? I know some people that are so full of a grudge that they aren't happy about anything. Hey, I sorta understand. I have share with folks before that I can forgive but I have a hard time forgetting. No, I don't hold it over your head or bring it up but I won't let it happen again.

We all know, however, that holding a grudge is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die. Holding on to that anger, that frustration, that hatred, will do nothing but steal our joy and happiness and keep us from the meaningful relationships we could have with GOD and others. Aren't you glad GOD doesn't hold grudges?

Today's word is Lamentations 3:22, NLT, which reads, "The faithful love of the LORD never ends! His mercies never cease."

I don't know about you, but, I have done enough, sinned enough, that most folks would have given up on me. Yet, GOD has not. He continues to faithfully love me each and every second He keeps me here on this earth. He continually showers me with His grace and mercy, both of which never cease. Why? Because He loves me. And, He loves you, too.

If you've been horrendously and deplorably wronged, I can understand that you can't let that go. GOD understands, too. But, try to allow GOD to take the hate and anger away so that you can live a fulfilling and victorious life. Yeah, I know, they don't deserve your forgiveness. But, you do!

Be Blessed,
