We often forget that those who are hurting us may be going through hard times and sometimes have a reason for why they are the way they are. Such great thoughts Lissie!!!!

I have been hurt by other's words, and it is so hard to forgive and let go, and to love those who hurt me. But as you said, I need to leave the person's life in God's hands.

It is so true to leave the situation in God's hands and let Him judge them for what they have done, not us!Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01668652744941138011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212199744270566790.post-3663507620951923822012-09-23T13:39:12.827-04:002012-09-23T13:39:12.827-04:00But we also need to remember that even if it seems...But we also need to remember that even if it seems like the other person doesn't have feelings and doesn't care how they make others feel, they really do have feelings and something probably happened to them that they are having trouble dealing with too. Everybody has problems in their lives, and by remembering this, it might make it a bit easier to have compassion in them. I do know though how hard it is not to hold a grudge when somebody really hurts you, but wih God's help, we can forgive them! Great post Britt! Your posts always make me think so much about the topic. :)lissiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03227820497106786258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212199744270566790.post-30284188305130260992012-09-23T13:15:25.485-04:002012-09-23T13:15:25.485-04:00Thanks Mandie for your kind comment!!

So true, grudges really do impact us deeply and it is not surprising (like you mentioned) that it hurts our body! : ) Great comment!! :) thanks for dropping by!Britt Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14955954669053239302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212199744270566790.post-72432308215594290632012-09-23T11:06:26.785-04:002012-09-23T11:06:26.785-04:00You are SO right, Britt!

I must always remember to do what is RIGHT, not what I FEEL like doing!<br /><br />Worse, holding on to one's anger for a person can develop into a grudge.<br /><br />I held an intense grudge against someone who hurt me badly once for over 2 years - then another, much lesser one, for 3 months. <br /><br />VERY destructive. <br /><br />Intense grudges make you think badly of the person you hold the grudge against every time their name is mentioned - because you have nothing good to say about them.<br />The lesser grudges aren't that bad - but either way, grudges REALLY affect your attitude; and not just towards that one person. Grudges steal your joy, happiness, optimism, etc. And studies (I believe) show that bearing a grudge actually hurts your body!<br /><br />Thanks for your input today, Britt.<br />Mirandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09842550517247086880noreply@blogger.com
