Let it Go!!!!

Anger, bitterness, and pain are horrible things to feel. They grab hold to all of the good inside you and poison it and robs you of all joy in life.  Many times the root of those emotions are displaced.  You want to find something or someone to blame for how you're feeling, so you lash out at everyone you come in contact with.  These emotions cause you to hurt the ones you love and keep you from creating and nurturing any lasting relationships.

You have to learn to let it go.  You can't change the situation and being mad at the world isn't going to make it any better.  Understand that holding on to these emotions isn't hurting anyone but you.  It is robbing you of not only your joy, but also making the people you love and care about not want to be around you. Forgive yourself first.  It's not your fault, and there is nothing that you could have done to make the situation any better.  I had to learn this the hard way.  An unfortunately it took me a long time to get this lesson right.  Thank God I have.

Then forgive the other party.  They don't care that you are still holding to what happened.  They have moved on (either literally or figuratively), and haven't thought about it again.  They are not losing any of the sleepless nights that you are thinking about what happened.  Most likely, they have made their peace a long time ago, while you are still harboring ill feelings towards them.  Yes, it's going to be hard, but so worth it.  Once you release them, you release the hold that the situation has had on your life.  You can then move forward without any extra baggage.

And lastly, pray. Ask God to help you. Because even though you say that you have forgiven and let the issue go, those feelings just don't go away over night.  Sometimes you will think about it again, and on those days, ask God to help you move past the hurt and the pain.  It may not seem like it now, but if you learn to Let go and let God, you will live a more fulfill and prosperous life.  Love ya'll.  Be Blessed!!
