HOW TO STOP HOLDING GRUDGES
AND START FORGIVING PEOPLE.

Have you suffered great wrongs from someone?
Did you try to excuse the person’s wrongdoing?
You’ll find it’s no easy task.

Often, however, there’s that lingering grudge
you hold against them.

But, being resentful only hurts and stresses you,
and can lead to grave health problems.

So, learning to forgive is crucial.
Letting go of grudges is essential.

Recognize The Reason For The Grudge

This is what you should do first.
Find out what caused your grudge.
Then evaluate it.

Being aware of a problem
makes it easier to find a way to solve it.

Was it a petty matter?
Were you overreacting?
If so, forget it.

Was it a major problem?
You should settle on a reasonable decision.
And go ahead from there.

What Is The Upside?

There is a negative and a positive side to everything.
Why get angry over the whole matter?

Assess the issue carefully.
What valuable lessons can you learn from it?
What useful insights have you gained?
What superior understanding did you get?

These will help you to let go easily.
It will be effortless for you not to keep further malice.

Put Yourself In Their Place

Do you often judge others too quickly?
Just put yourself into their shoes instead.

You’d get a better idea of why
they acted the way they did.
This doesn’t make their action right, though.

But you'll be able to understand their intentions.
And find it easier to forgive them.

Discuss The Matter With The Person Involved

A little misunderstanding may
have caused your grudge.
It could also be due to addressing
the issue in the wrong way.

Forget your biases.
Clarify your thoughts and feelings.

Should you continue to mull
this matter over and over?
Can you discuss it with the other person
to work out a solution?

Calm down first.
Then meet with the other individual.
Talk things over quietly,
without being judgmental.

Can you resolve this between you two?
Should you involve someone else?

This approach will remove built-up tension.
You’ll become more relaxed, too.

Forgive Them… Finally

Forgiveness does not mean you’ve forgotten
the wrong that was done to you.

To forgive is to accept the differences
between you and the other.
When you forgive,
you agree that people can make mistakes.
Because we are all human.

It’s difficult to forgive.
But it’s worthwhile.
It removes the burden of resentment from your heart.
And gives you peace of mind.

Morning and Evening by Charles Spurgeon

Morning
"Get thee up into the high mountain." Isaiah 40:9

Our knowledge of Christ is somewhat like climbing one of our Welsh mountains. When you are at the base you see but little: the mountain itself appears to be but one-half as high as it really is. Confined in a little valley, you discover scarcely anything but the rippling brooks as they descend into the stream at the foot of the mountain. Climb the first rising knoll, and the valley lengthens and widens beneath your feet. Go higher, and you see the country for four or five miles round, and you are delighted with the widening prospect. Mount still, and the scene enlarges; till at last, when you are on the summit, and look east, west, north, and south, you see almost all England lying before you. Yonder is a forest in some distant county, perhaps two hundred miles away, and here the sea, and there a shining river and the smoking chimneys of a manufacturing town, or the masts of the ships in a busy port. All these things please and delight you, and you say, "I could not have imagined that so much could be seen at this elevation." Now, the Christian life is of the same order. When we first believe in Christ we see but little of him. The higher we climb the more we discover of his beauties. But who has ever gained the summit? Who has known all the heights and depths of the love of Christ which passes knowledge? Paul, when grown old, sitting grey-haired, shivering in a dungeon in Rome, could say with greater emphasis than we can, "I know whom I have believed," for each experience had been like the climbing of a hill, each trial had been like ascending another summit, and his death seemed like gaining the top of the mountain, from which he could see the whole of the faithfulness and the love of him to whom he had committed his soul. Get thee up, dear friend, into the high mountain.

Evening
"The dove found no rest for the sole of her foot." Genesis 8:9

Reader, can you find rest apart from the ark, Christ Jesus? Then be assured that your religion is vain. Are you satisfied with anything short of a conscious knowledge of your union and interest in Christ? Then woe unto you. If you profess to be a Christian, yet find full satisfaction in worldly pleasures and pursuits, your profession is false. If your soul can stretch herself at rest, and find the bed long enough, and the coverlet broad enough to cover her in the chambers of sin, then you are a hypocrite, and far enough from any right thoughts of Christ or perception of his preciousness. But if, on the other hand, you feel that if you could indulge in sin without punishment, yet it would be a punishment of itself; and that if you could have the whole world, and abide in it forever, it would be quite enough misery not to be parted from it; for your God--your God--is what your soul craves after; then be of good courage, thou art a child of God. With all thy sins and imperfections, take this to thy comfort: if thy soul has no rest in sin, thou are not as the sinner is! If thou art still crying after and craving after something better, Christ has not forgotten thee, for thou hast not quite forgotten him. The believer cannot do without his Lord; words are inadequate to express his thoughts of him. We cannot live on the sands of the wilderness, we want the manna which drops from on high; our skin bottles of creature confidence cannot yield us a drop of moisture, but we drink of the rock which follows us, and that rock is Christ. When you feed on him your soul can sing, "He hath satisfied my mouth with good things, so that my youth is renewed like the eagle's," but if you have him not, your bursting wine vat and well-filled barn can give you no sort of satisfaction: rather lament over them in the words of wisdom, "Vanity of vanities, all is vanity!"
