Don't Be A FONZY!!!!

Finding you are holding a grudge? Someone holding one against you? What does the Bible say about that?

Don't be a Fonzy!!!! Just say it...whether to God or someone in your life....let's keep short accounts. Don't let the words get stuck in your throat. Let's practice together now....."I WAS WRONG!"

Three of the most freeing words on the planet.

I found it interesting that this scripture does not say if YOU HAVE SOMETHING AGAINST SOMEONE...but if you know someone has something against you....right or wrongly perceived...we are to go settle the matter. Trust God to help you with this process. It is not a suggestion in the bible it is a command.....let's try to be obedient. This harboring of anger or hate is likened to murder in this scripture. OUCH!

Matthew 5:21-26 (New International Version, ©2010)

Murder

²¹ “You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘You shall not murder,^{a]" [a]} and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’ ²² But I tell you that anyone who is angry with a brother or sister^b]" ^[c] will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to a brother or sister, ‘Raca,’^{d]" [d]} is answerable to the court. And anyone who says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of hell.

²³ “Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother or sister has something against you, ²⁴ leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to them; then come and offer your gift.

²⁵ “Settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court. Do it while you are still together on the way, or your adversary may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison. ²⁶ Truly I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.
