People today confuse strength with weakness. Which is harder to do ... walk away and forgive or stay around and fight? What is accomplished by a fight other than folks feel satisfied because they vented their anger onto others?  Walking away is the hard thing to do.

Pray for those who offend you.  You will need God's help.  Roll that conflict and those involved over onto Him.  Dump them quickly before you talk yourself into taking them on permanently. Leave them at the foot of the cross. Receive the power to walk on.

We have to make that little journey from the cross to the grave frequently. We leave all painful drama at the foot of the cross, forgive and then visit the empty tomb where we remember that the stone has been rolled away, the power of forgiveness has won and we can walk free.
