Stop "Gunnysacking!"

Many people are burdened down because they are going through life carrying GRUDGES.  What is a grudge?  It's "resentment or ill-will over some grievance."

GRUDGES are those little resentments we gather from day-to-day and hold inside (in our gut)--allowing them to nag and gnaw at us.  Like carrying "little foxes" in a sack!  The term for this DIS-ease is called GUNNYSACKING.

When we can't hold these grudges in any longer, we hurl them out like hot coals of lava at others.  We start STONING people!  We throw stones of sarcasm, we hurl verbal vomit (hurtful comments, cutting remarks, and foul language) around until we cause ir-repairable damage.  We don't cause broken bones...but broken spirits, broken relationships, and broken hearts!

I've found that people who carry grudges are often those who can't handle the truth or can't accept correction or constructive criticism.  They won't own-up to things they've done or hurts they've caused.  They gather inside these resentments--allowing them to petrify (turn hard) until their hearts become hardened and they fall ill.

Jesus tells us to drop the stones...lay our gunnysacks of grudges down.  He said, "if you are without sin, then you may cast the 1st stone."  Then all who were carrying ILL-WILL, dropped their stones at Jesus' feet and walked away.

If you're carrying any GRUDGES or any RESENTMENT...lay your GUNNYSACK down at the feet of Jesus and walk away healed and whole again.
