DON’T GET EVEN!! BE FREE!!

Society teaches us to get even with those who have hurt us or done us wrong. As we move forward in life, it is important not to hold on to any kind of bitterness or unforgiveness in our heart. It is unlikely that any one of us has made it through life so far without being hurt by someone, but we only continue letting what they have done hurt us if we don’t forgive them. Ask yourself if you are angry with anyone for anything, and if you are, ask God to help you forgive, forget, and let it go. God is our vindicator and if we will allow Him to, He will repay us for every injustice that has been done to us. In my life, I have learned that anger is something we should never carry around with us. God’s Word says that we should not let the sun set on our anger, and if we do, then we give the devil a foothold in our lives (Ephesians 4:26–27 In your anger do not sin; Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, 27. and do not give the devil a foothold). Do yourself a favor right now as you move forward in life and refuse to remain angry or bitter. God has good things planned for us, and we don’t want to miss them by refusing to let go of things in the past. Keep on going with a peaceful heart and be determined to enjoy each day.
