Real Friends

DAY 13 OF 15

It’s easy to hold grudges against other people. But in the long run, those grudges actually end up hurting us way more than they do them! Why? Because they stir up bitterness, anger, and frustration within us. 

So, what if we decided to forgive that person instead? To let go of the grudge and in turn, the feelings we’re holding onto with it? 

Forgiveness doesn’t mean what the other person did wasn’t wrong or didn’t hurt you. But it is the first step in saying that you won’t let that hurt define you. Is there a grudge you’ve been holding against someone in your life? 

Today, ask God to help you stop holding on to it and start forgiving that person—just as God has forgiven you.
