Pass Church Hurt …. Let Go and be Healed …
I have been talking to God, who is my best friend. In your lifetime, why are you looking for approval, respect, mercy, apology, appreciation and the welfare of others? The word is GRUDGE, words have meaning this is why I tell people be carefully of words. We must be very careful what we plot at a distance, lest we follow through when close. Nothing is harmless about a grudge. The Greek word for “nursed a grudge against” means “to be held in or by anything; to be entangled in something, be enmeshed, to be subject to.” Holding grudge, nearly everyone has been hurt by the actions or words of another. These wounds can leave you with lasting feelings of anger, bitterness and even vengeance — but if you don't practice forgiveness, you may be the one who pays most dearly. By embracing forgiveness, you embrace peace, hope, gratitude and joy. One of the things How Church Leader goes around hurting people of God. I don’t understand why, but one thing I know is “TRUTH” always comes to the table …. Forgiveness is a decision to let go of resentment and thoughts of revenge. The act that hurt or offended you may always remain a part of your life, but forgiveness can lessen its grip on you and help you focus on other, positive parts of your life. Forgiveness can even lead to feelings of understanding, empathy and compassion for the one who hurt you.
Forgiveness doesn't mean that you deny the other person's responsibility for hurting you, and it doesn't minimize or justify the wrong. You can forgive the person without excusing the act. Forgiveness brings a kind of peace that helps you go on with life. If you allow negative feelings to crowd out positive feelings, you may find yourself swallowed up by your own bitterness or sense of injustice. In doing some further study, I saw that the word grudge is found quite often in the scriptures and we are warned against grudging. (Leviticus 19:18, James 5:9, 1 Peter 4:9) The scriptures refer instead to loving your neighbor as yourself and forgiving others as you have been forgiven by God so as to prevent any bitterness from growing. (Galatians 5:14, Matthew 6:12, Ephesians 4:31, Hebrews 12:15) But I thank God for Freedom....
