We often let emotional debris clutter our lives. We let resentments build up, causing us to avoid those with whom we have unfinished business. Scripture tells us about the importance of not carrying grudges: “Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against anyone among your people, but love your neighbor as yourself” (Leviticus 19:18). God knows that bearing grudges hurts us as well as everyone within the community. Are you bearing a grudge? Do you have any unfinished business in your life? Consider letting it go or going to that person and clearing the air.
