Bruce and I hope this series edifies and inspires readers to take another look at situations and issues - stuff that creates barriers to their peace of mind in the areas of anger and unforgiveness.
In Matthew 18, starting with verse 15, Jesus provides the perfect conflict-resolution plan. He tells us to go privately to our brother (or sister) who offended us, and let them know how we feel. There are specific steps to take, and the ultimate purpose is to gain, or regain, your brother/sister. The hope is reconciliation/restoration. However, while each individual, couple, circumstance and issue is different - the same peace of mind can be obtained when we know we have done all we can to release ourselves, and the other party, from the bondage of unforgiveness, and the shackles of anger.
Believers can escape the chains of resentment and bitterness that entangle those who refuse to show mercy. When the Lord reveals the names of people you need to forgive, get on it! Be brave, use wisdom as you choose to deal with those emotions. Allow God to set you free. It's about living with no regrets.
Ask me how I know!
