Let it go

We often don’t want to do this as we know we are in the right and want to be vindicated, we refuse to forgive, burning with ire and yet the one whom we are holding a grudge against has moved on with their lives. It is as if by holding grudge we will inflict deserved pain on our adversary, what folly, the only one we are hurting is ourself. .

Let it go 10 "Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!" (‭Psalms‬ ‭46‬:‭10‬ ESV)‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬ . . Are you some one that can let something drop, or do you keep it at the forefront of your mind, refusing to let go, churning round and round getting more and more exasperated. God says be still , He is not saying be immobile,He is asking us to letter the matter drop. . . We often don’t want to do this as we know we are in the right and want to be vindicated, we refuse to forgive, burning with ire and yet the one whom we are holding a grudge against has moved on with their lives. It is as if by holding grudge we will inflict deserved pain on our adversary, what folly, the only one we are hurting is ourself. . . Would it not be better if we cast our burden on Jesus, He was falsely accused and suffered and He understands our every weakness. In the midst of the crucifixion He was able to cry out asking God to forgive His accusers. . . I am not advocating that we continually put ourselves in the firing line, but if we can forgive those that trespass against us we will be free. We don’t have the capability or strength to do this ourselves, we have to receive His forgiveness to have the capacity to forgive. . . As we know (experience) that He is God, we will be able to give a Him all the praise and all the Glory. . .
