Don't Hold A Grudge

Colossians 3:12-14\

(Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.)

Don't Hold On To A Grudge

Arguments and disagreements can lead to grudges,

That leave hurts, that seem to be unrepairable

Yet God calls for us to have a compassionate heart

With love applied we can make compassion a work of art

Grudges left unattended, will cause a rift in the road

Causing a lots of rough rides along the way

God says be kind, love your enemy, and forgive a soul

When we do this our way grows smother and we become more whole

So in order to bring resolution, one must become humble and meek

Setting the example for others that may be sickly and weak

Growing in patients and excepting the one causing you grief

Find forgiveness and then dig real deep finding relief

Family and friends are important in life, relationships a must

So forgive as the Lord has forgiven you, letting the past go

And make the best of the future, building on the good

Our relationships won’t drift, and we will be more understood

When one is not feeling good, because of holding a grudge

In fact one is really sick and tired of the whole thing

Just remember, don't go to the Dr. or call a nurse

Because a grudge is one thing that doesn’t get better when it’s nursed.

Have a good day, and save a relationship by swallowing your pride and forgiving a brother/sister. Be humble and walk with God in LOVE
