No Grudges

“Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge…”
—Leviticus 19:18a

People notice how we believers in the life-transforming power of the Lord Jesus Christ behave toward others. That’s why we must look to God’s Word to know how to live.

Today’s message comes to us from Leviticus 19:18:

“Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against anyone among your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord.”

This message could not be any clearer: no grudges—only love.

People in our ever-darkening world seem intent on drawing lines in the sand and daring others to cross those lines. Such behavior must not become a part of our lives.

Instead, the love God has placed in our hearts must overcome our natural tendency to hold a grudge. So, this day, let us determine to set aside any grudges we may have and instead allow God’s love to fill our lives.
