It does not pay to hold a grudge against someone. You might have unknowingly said or done something that started the grudge. Holding a grudge will prevent you from moving on with your life in a positive manner.
Holding ill will against someone is not suitable for your health and well-being. Discuss the situation with the party you grudge against to see if you can resolve the problem efficiently and quickly. Did you go into the position with clean hands, and if not, why wouldn’t the other party be mad at you? Did you insult them or insure them in some way? If you can answer yes, apologize for what you said or did to them.
A grudge can cause you and the other party involved many sleepless nights. Sometimes it is best to let bygones be bygones and move forward in life. Did a third party start the ball rolling to injure you and the other party? You must always consider the source before you come to a false conclusion that is just based on lies or circumstances at present.
If God held a grudge, we would not get to heaven because we are all sinners. Jesus died on the cross for our sins so we may live again in the kingdom of heaven. We should always be willing to forgive people and move forward and build a stronger bond with them.
Sometimes things get completely twisted around or taken out of context. If a friend, acquaintance, business, or someone else has insulted or hurt you, try to figure out why. Try to agree or understand that both parties can live with. Apologize if you have broken or offended someone. Sometimes situations cannot be resolved regrettably, but at least try. I hope you are not holding a grudge against someone in your life. Life is too short, so live by being kind and considerate to people, as a bit of kindness goes a long way in life.
