bearing with one another if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must
forgive Colossians
3:13 ESV
An
unforgiving spirit binds you, not the other person! We often
hold to bitterness because the person doesn’t deserve to be forgiven. But all
we do then is make the situation worse for ourselves. On top of being
disrespected, lied to, or abused now whenever we hear about or see this person
we are enraged. We are allowing the devil to continually pour salt on a gaping wound.
And usually the offender has moved on.
Forgiveness is not trust. Don’t forget that. Regardless of
what they deserve; you deserve to be free from the bondage of bitterness.
Letting go doesn’t mean that you have restored confidence in the offender; it
just means that you are choosing to be free. If you really want to get back at
someone don’t let what they did have any effect on you anymore! Let it go in Jesus’ name.
