"Remember the ten thousand talents that Christ forgave you? Do not become a cruel collector of a smaller debt." - St. Gregory the Theologian
Forgiveness is part of showing mercy - of loving mercy - and I need to be reminded on a regular basis not to hold on to those small hurts. It is so easy to nurse grudges without really thinking about it. At least that is true for me. I'm trying not to become a "cruel collector". Glad these little reminders keep popping up everywhere.
So timely for me. I have been having a difficult time letting go of a wound that seems to be re-opening over and over. Thanks for your post and encouragement to release hurts. God bless you!
