Holding a Grudge or Choosing to Forgive...
Do You Hold Grudges?
What happens when you hold a grudge against someone?
When you hold a grudge bad things happen to you mentally and physically.
Holding a grudge is really un-forgiveness.
Here are a couple of examples of how holding a grudge really works;
Holding a grudge is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to get sick.
Holding a grudge is a bit like lighting ourselves on fire and expecting the other
Person to die from smoke inhalations.
When you read this it all sounds pretty stupid!
Why do people hold grudges?
Self preservation!
Wanting to be right!
To prove a point!
To retaliate from a hurt they were subject to!
Holding a grudge will only hurt yourself you mught think
But actually it hurts the whole dynamics in a family
Also in the church, and in the work place.
A grudge turns into anger, then bitterness!
Hate, then death of life and joy and kindness.
So many turn into vindictive people once they are hurt
And then decide not to forgive and to hold a grudge.
It's a form of control!
"I'll get you my pretty"
The witch told this to Dorthy from the Wizard of Oz
I get it...
We have all been hurt somewhere by someone.
It happens in families in marriages
But, holding a grudge is toxic!
Forgiving someone does not mean you now have to hang out with them!
And it does not mean you have to allow them in your life.
But you need to forgive and to be civil and respectful.
To be at peace as much as is possible.
Holding a grudge will make life unbearable for yourself and everyone
Around you, as you will be a form of an angry person.
Like in the movie, Toy Story
Mrs Potato Head said to Mr Potato Head
I packed your angry eyes for you...
We have all seen the effect of knowing when someone is holding a grudge.
After all it truly is a heart condition!
You can either have a healthy heart or one heavy laden.
Sending a big hello to you all!
Life is either like a bowl full of cherries
Or
A chair filled with bowls.
You do have a choice!
Always, Living From Glory To Glory
