Hate, Let It Go

While I was trying to remember where I heard or read about the concept of letting your hate for someone else control your life,  I realized that maybe someone needed to read about it. So here it is.  If you can’t stand someone, can’t get along with someone, and are still hurt after someone left you long ago, you really need to let it go. I guess it exemplifies a very practical approach to “Let go and let God.” The premise is simple enough. Without forgiveness in your heart, you are forever bound and chained to that which you despise most, are fearful of, and have been seriously hurt by. Have you ever been around someone who continues to relive a past relationship, a broken heart, wrongful termination, missed opportunity, or a personal slight over and over again? That’s all they talk about. When they see something or hear something that reminds them of that someone or that thing, you know what’s coming. And they expect you to join them in the pity party they’ve thrown for themselves. In fact, it’s the same one they threw yesterday and the day before and you know it’s the one they’ll throw tomorrow....
