He moves in before you know it and stinks up the whole place. With resentment, temper, anger, low self-esteem and what-not. Evict him. Don’t give him time of day. Tell him, in the name of Jesus, to pack his bags and hit the road.

It’s when you no longer try that bitterness sets in. she had cracked the nut of ‘Where Was God?’. He was at work. Teaching her how to forgive and leave all the cares and vengeance at His feet.

Stop harboring grudges, negative thoughts, memories or feelings inside you. Forgive that guy who badly offended you. Outrageous as it may seem, Jesus died for them too. If He thinks they are worth forgiving, they are. Does that make forgiveness easy? No. Quick? Seldom. Painless? It wasn’t for Blessings.
