Release

     If you have been holding on to bitterness, anger and rage, is it time to let it go? Have you been ignoring the fact that it’s still there, simmering slowly, waiting for that boiling point? Think of the relief you will experience as you give it to God. Here is a verse to help.

Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ, God forgave you.  Ephesians 4:32

     Is there someone you need to forgive? You won’t forget, but God will handle it for you. Forgive the wrong, the hurt, the past. The forgiveness will heal that bitter root within. That anger you have been holding so tightly can be released, finally. God forgave us and we didn’t deserve it. Jesus took all of our sin, all of it and gave us grace. How can we do any less?

Dear Jesus,
We seek Your way to forgiveness. We release our anger and bittnerness to You. Help us to forgive others as you forgave us. You command us to do just that. Give us compassionate hearts and kindness.

Amen
