The Judge, GOD, stands at the door—don't be found guilty of unforgiveness and bitterness towards someone, in the court of GOD. Grudges ruin relationships and deteriorate health. We've all been wronged by somebody. But we can't hold grudges against them and stand with CHRIST at the same time. JESUS said: [Matt. 6:14:] "For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: [Verse 15:] But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses." Don't allow others to change you into a less loving person by holding a grudge against them. You rob yourself of happiness when you do that. Love them despite their behavior. GOD loves you despite yours.
