       We can hold a grudge; for sure we can do that. What does that look like for us? When we hold a grudge, the problem continues to swirl around in our minds, day after day, week after week, month after month. This leads to year after year in some cases. The problem isn’t resolved. It’s a wound that won’t heal. We look down at our arm, and it’s always there. The thing won’t heal up, and it’s bothering us from time to time. It gets really annoying. What we find, over time, is that it simply isn’t worth it. It’s not worth harboring all the animosity in our minds even if we really were wronged. We should examine ourselves to try to see what is really true because sometimes we did wrong too. Nevertheless, it’s like Paul told the Corinthians, that it would be better to just be wronged than to take wrath out against a person, or probably more prevalent, to continue to take wrath out against them in our minds. If we take a close look at others around us, we will notice that some have decided to forgive certain offenses, and it has worked tremendously well for them.
