I took my young son to the doctor for a
routine physical. All the way I had to reassure him that he would not be
getting a shot. He went through his eye exam, hearing test, etc. The nurse came
into the exam room and started to ask me routine questions.

When she got to “Is he allergic to anything” my four year old son
stood up and said “YES, I’m allergic to shots!”

Two teenagers were on a tour of a modern art gallery. They suddenly found themselves alone in a room of modern sculpture and were staring at the twisted pipes, broken glass, and tangled shapes.

One of them exclaimed, “We had better get out of here before they accuse us of wrecking this place!”

A lawyer phoned the governor’s mansion shortly after midnight. “I need to talk to the governor – it’s an emergency!” exclaimed the lawyer.

After some cajoling, the governor’s assistant agreed to wake him up. “So, what is it that’s so important that it can’t wait until morning?” grumbled the governor.

“Judge Pierson just died, and I want to take his place,” begged the attorney.

“Well, it’s OK with me if it’s OK with the funeral home,” replied the governor.

Getting Over It

You’ve been hurt! Part of you is broken, and the other part is bitter. Part of you wants to cry, and part of you wants to fight. And you’re left with a decision. Do I get over it or get even? Do I release it or resent it?

Resentment is when you allow what’s eating you to eat you up. Revenge is the raging fire that consumes the arsonist. Bitterness is the trap that snares the hunter. And mercy is the choice that can set them all free.

“Blessed are the merciful,” Jesus said on the mountain. “They shall be shown mercy.” (Mt. 5:7)

Forgiving others allows us to see how God has forgiven us. The dynamic of giving grace is the key to understanding grace. For it is when we forgive others that we begin to feel what God feels. Set your enemy—and yourself—free!
