Forgivness

Proverbs 19:11 - "A man's wisdom gives him patience; it is to his glory to overlook an offense.
All I can say is "wow." I've found this to be one the hardest things to do in life. To completely forgive others when they have wronged me. I still hold grudges from years ago, but I've found that it only hurts myself. I've found that all these grudges can do is tear you down personally for holding them. As hard as it is to do, God tells us not to judge others or hold grudges because we ALL fall short of the glory of God. This means no matter what others do to you, we are no better or worse than each other. It doesn't pay to be mad at others for wronging you, especially when it more than likely doesn't bother them near as much if they have aleady apoligized or aren't aware they've wronged you. This is why it is better to let God deal with the situation and pass judgement rather than letting the little things in life tear you down.
A good friend of mine once told me, why do you let earthly things bring you to your knees? Do you not realize none of them will matter 100 years from now? When salvation comes, I'm not letting anything on this earth hold me here, I'm ready to see my Creator and walk with angels...holding grudges here on Earth sure doesn't guide the path to heaven.
