Sometimes in life you go through things that you may not REALLY want to go through.
Sometimes in life you hold on to things that you really need to let go of.
Sometimes in life you hold on to grudges that are SO old, that are SO dumb-but sometimes you don't see that...right then.
Sometimes in life you are hurt. Sometimes that hurt causes you to hold onto grudges, people and or things that you really need to let go of.
Sometimes holding on to that grudge/hurt keeps you from happiness. It keeps you bitter, and you hold on to it because when holding on to that bitterness, it keeps you close to what you are holding on to.
Does that make sense?
If you let go, you are no longer a part of what you are holding on to.
When you let go, that THING, person, grudge no longer has a part of your life, or power over you.
Sometimes that hurts.
*deep sigh*
It's time to let go.
Maybe none of you have gone through anything like that, but I have and I'm letting go.
You are telling the truth!!! I've heard it preached that forgiveness is more so for you than the person who've offended you. Holding on to grudges, etc is almost like a cancer and just can eat you up inside. It does more damage than good. Let go, Trust God, and breathe......

It totally makes sense to me! Holding on to something after it doesn't make sense anymore only hurts you.

you know something, I needed to hear that because I was holding on to some anger towards someone. I know I have to let it go and if that friendship goes with it, then so be it. Thanks
