What is the heaviest weight you can carry? Maybe it’s a couple of bags of groceries or a box full of books. The amount of weight would vary from person to person. But one of the heaviest weights any person can carry is a grudge. Grudges weigh us down and keep us from being all that God wants us to be.
In fact, Jesus said that holding on to problems in our relationships with other people causes problems in our relationships with God. First thing first – if we have problems with other people, we need to resolve those problems before we bring our offering to God. Offerings to God cannot patch up bad relationships with other people. Those need to be handled face-to-face with a spirit of mercy and forgiveness.
Do you have grudges you need to unload? Why not settle those problems today so that nothing stands in the way of your relationship with God?
Father, point out any relationships in my life that need my attention and help me to take the first step in repairing them.
