You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against any of your people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the Lord.
- Leviticus 19:18-18
Ouch! I for one am certainly guilty of this one. Guilty, guilty, guilty
And if my Republican friends are guilty of holding a grudge against Bill Clinton, I am guilty of holding a grudge against Newt Gingrich. But worse than that kind of thing, how many of us just can't get over wounds we've recieved from friends, collegues, bosses, parents, relatives, even clergy? Yeah. That's why they say that forgiveness is like an onion, lots of layers...
"Forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who tresspass against us..." Please, Lord, help us to let go so that we can live in love and peace, they way you want is to.
In Jesus' name,
Amen
