How is your Sunday going?
I was in church earlier today and the pastor talked about anger and bitterness, He talked about the importance of letting go and not babysitting grudges. In so many cases, it is absolutely difficult but we just have to, not for the person but for ourselves.
Our best friend, spouse and parent can hurt us so bad but then they are human and so are you. You ain't perfect either. In a way or two, you would have hurt someone so badly even if you don't mean it that way.
He said unforgiveness is like holding coals of fire in your hand, wanting to throw it at the person you hate, when actually you're the one getting burnt. He said when you don't forgive or hold on to hate, you will always be thinking and talking about that person, it's funny how it works but we can all relate to this. "Sometimes you have to overlook things and give the person a benefit of doubt" he said.
Sometimes, God allow some people to hurt us so that you will see who they really are and put them in their place. Forgiving don't necessarily mean we should be as close as before or put in our full trust like before. When you're deeply hurt,there's always a gap that stays that way after you forgive.
Apart from religious beliefs , medically, when we harbor all these bitterness it affects our heart, makes us age and affect our relationship with others.
Have a beautiful week ahead
Not easy tho☺��
