Any time we hold a grudge or retain anger against someone, we are living in the past. We cannot be fully present in the moment when we refuse to take our foot out of the door of the past. Have you ever noticed that you cannot walk into another room unless you remove your foot from the room that you want to leave? Jesus told his disciples at one point to "shake the dust from your feet" and move on. His point was that we cannot carry the past with us if we are going to move forward. We must be willing to shake off the negativity, anger and resentment that we may feel about someone if we want to move on with our lives and be totally free. Otherwise, we live in bondage to our emotions and are connected to the person that we feel these strong emotions towards even though they may not be physically present in our lives. Forgiveness is the key!
