Take the High Road

  "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
   

    We've all felt the impact or sense of hurt, betrayal, and sadness when unfair things that happen to us. When someone treats us badly.

    When someone treats us badly - we have two simple choices:

We can choose to hold on to the hurt, feel bitter and angry, and carry around that anger to the point where it poisons us.

    Or, we can choose to let it go and give it up to God. Some might even suggest that we Thank God for this opportunity to better ourselves. Thank God for the lessons we learn and strength he gives us to endure and forgive. While none of us always find it easy to forgive when someone hurt you so badly. Our best long term option is simply "Let it go"! Turn it over to Our Lord and try to forget it as quickly as you can.

    Rremember - you don’t forgive for their sake; you forgive for your own sake. When you forgive, you are taking away their power to hurt you. But if you hold on to that offense and stay angry, you are only poisoning your own life. You are letting someone else ruin your day. Don't give in! Connect with God, Talk it over with God and ask the Good Lord to help you put this unpleasant situation behind you!

    Try to focus on your blessings. Keep your thoughts as healthy and happy as you possibly can.
