The Bitterness Ends Here
"For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses." - Matthew 6:14-15 (KJV)
As the old year breathes its last, many of us look back on broken relationships and hearts heavy with unforgiveness. Names and faces we had hoped to forget resurface once again, dredging up pain we thought was far behind us.
But Christ has called us to a higher way. Just as He extended lavish grace to us when we least deserved it, so too are we to release those who have wronged us from any obligation. Forgiveness is a choice - a sacrifice of pride on the altar of peace.
Won't you join me in letting go of bitterness as we step into the new year? As Corrie ten Boom said, "Forgiveness is an act of the will, and the will can function regardless of the temperature of the heart." I don't know about you, but I'm tired of lugging this resentment around. My shoulders ache from the weight of it. How about you, friend? Isn't it time to shake free from the shackles of the past?
The ball rests in our court. By opening our hands in surrender, we can release the hurts and abuses that have kept us hostage for far too long. Jesus paved the way by forgiving us while we were still sinners. Let us extend the same grace, that our hearts may be light and free as we embark on a fresh start.
The bitterness ends here. Let us walk into the dawning of a new year with hearts unbound by hatred. The first step is ours to take.
