To carry extra weight in the natural is unhealthy. It can affect your overall health and tax your heart. To carry extra weight in the spiritual realm is also unhealthy. And, it is always a heart issue here!
The extra weight of anger, resentment, bitterness, rejection and more can weigh you down so very much and affect your emotional well-being and every relationship in your life. At the root of most if not all heart issues is the issue of un-forgiveness. If you choose not to forgive others for things said or done in the past, you actually hold your heart in bondage.
In life things do happen. It is how you respond that really matters. Often what appears to be a direct offense against you is simply a misunderstanding that does not get resolved. Sometimes it is a direct hit. Do not let the rest of your life become collateral damage.
Let the past go. It is over. Use today to build a better future! Forgive and forgive often. Forgive yourself. Forgive others. Lose that excess weight! Keep your own heart clear for therein lies the power to go forth in this season.
“For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.”
