The adage “let go of grudges” is so easy to say but quite difficult to accomplish. Everyone knows people who cannot let go of the hurts they experienced. Their bitterness shows on their faces; in their actions. My grandfather would say,”…nurturing unresolved anger toward someone who hurt you creates infection in the victim, not the perpetrator.” He would go on to say that making peace with the past can give you a renewed sense of purpose, a lighter step, and a healed heart. I think that we all could appreciate having a lighter step as we go about our day. So… I encourage you all to take off the glasses of old hurts and ask God to reveal any resentment you might be harboring. To be more specific, think of someone who hurt you, forgive that person, and ask God to heal your hurt once and for all.
