Drop the Potatoes Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. Colossians 3:13What do you do when someone says something that hurts? Do you carry it around like a sack of Potatoes day after day,week after week? Sometimes when we do that, the sack gets heavier with each passing day. God's way to deal with that sort of pain is to lay it down. That's it. Just lay the thing down. "But that's hard," you say. Yeah, sometimes it's hard, but remember this:It's harder to keep carrying it. The difficulty in laying it down is momentary. Carrying the weight of your hurts will accomplish nothing. Nursing a grudge can become addictive. You get used to the feeling of resentment and miss it when it's not there.If you're willing to carry one sack of potatoes, the enemy will eventually load you down with another sack. You develop the bad habit of taking offense when no offense was intended. The more sacks you carry, the slower you travel toward God's will. Do you have a hurt you haven't let go of yet? Don't wait another day. Drop the sack of potatoes on this Day One.
