PAGE 2 ST. MAR K’ S MESSEN GER

Dear Friends,

I believe all of us have known people who have held a grudge

against someone. And maybe, we’ve even held onto one

ourselves.

When a person is unwilling to give up a grudge, they can

inflict great mental, emotional, physical and spiritual damage on those who have offended them,

as well as on themselves.

A merchant in a small town had twin sons who worked for him in his department store. When he

died, they took over the store.

Business went well until that fateful day when a single dollar disappeared. One of the brothers left

the bill on the cash register and walked outside with a customer. When he returned, the dollar

was gone. He asked his brother, “Did you see that dollar bill I left on the cash register?”

“No, I haven’t.”

“Well, dollar bills just don't get up and walk away! Surely you must have seen it!”

“Sorry. I didn’t,” said the second brother.

The first brother couldn’t leave the matter alone. Tempers rose and resentment set in. In a short

time, the brothers didn’t even speak to each other.

They built a dividing wall through the center of the store. For twenty years the bitterness between

the brothers and their families grew.

One day a stranger stopped his car in front of the store. He walked in and asked the man behind

the counter, “Sir, how long have you worked here?”

The man laughed and replied, “All my life.”

“Well,” the stranger said, “I need to confess something. I rode into town in a boxcar twenty years

ago. I hadn't eaten for days. I came in here looking for a hand out. There was a dollar bill lying on

the cash register. No one was around, so I slipped it in my pocket and walked out and bought me

a little food. I haven’t been able to forget that I stole that dollar here. It wasn't much money, but I

simply had to come back to confess and beg your forgiveness and repay that dollar.”

The stranger was surprised to see tears welling up in the eyes of the man. The man said, “Would

you do me a favor? Please go next door and tell that same story to the man in that store?”

Though he thought the request was odd, the stranger said, “Sure.”

As the stranger finished telling the story next door, he was surprised to see tears well up in the

eyes of that man, too. Without saying a word to the stranger, the man walked out of his store. The

stranger followed the man out of the store.

FROM YOUR

PASTOR’S

HEART

There on the sidewalk in front of the stores, the stranger was amazed to see two middle-aged

men who looked a lot like each other embrace and weep in the front of their stores.

After twenty years, the brokenness that had divided the brothers and their families began to

crumble.

Too often, it is the little difficulties, disagreements and disappointments in life which become the

seeds that blossom into the grudges, resentments and unforgivenesses that divide people,

families, businesses, communities and yes, even churches. And if they are allowed to grow, they

are very capable of breaking us and leaving us looking and feeling like shards of broken pottery.

There is a simple solution: LET IT GO!!

If you want to live your life as Christ promised, you simply must LET GO of those negative thoughts and emotions towards

others.

Saying “LET IT GO” is a lot easier than doing it. But if you want to live your life as Christ promised,

you must learn to LET IT GO.

It’s always a choice: LET IT GO or hang on to it.

If you choose to hold onto them, six things will take place in your life.

1. THEY WILL EAT YOU UP INSIDE. People carrying grudges, resentments and unforgivenesses

often have all types of physical ailments in their bodies. And they often have spiritual problems, too,

because they refuse to forgive as they have been forgiven.

2. THEY AFFECT EVERY RELATIONSHIP YOU HAVE. Holding on to those negative emotions

will isolate you from your family, friends, and acquaintances, because very few people want to be

around someone who spews venom all the time.

3. THEY RARELY AFFECT THE OTHER PERSON. That person is moving on with their life, while you

are still having a pity party.

4. THEY DRAIN YOU OF ENERGY. You will waste a lot of mental energy trying to dream of a

way to get even or get revenge.

5. THEY WILL ENSLAVE YOU. Hold onto those negative emotions, and you will become a slave

to them rather than being the master of them.

6. THEY PLANT SEEDS OF BITTERNESS IN YOUR LIFE. Seeds of bitterness grow in the fertile

soul of a person who can’t let it go. And that person will end up becoming a bitter person.

(continued on page 3)

PAGE 4 ST. MAR K’ S MESSEN GER

How do I know those six things can happen to you? Because I have experienced all six of them

in the past when I tried to hold grudges, resentments and unforgivenesses. And during those

times, I wasn’t always the nicest person to be around.

I know that letting go of your grudges, resentments and unforgivenesses is hard – especially when they caused you great

pain. But God can help you love that person, no matter how deep the pain you carry.

So how do you get beyond the grudges, resentments and unforgivenesses against others? There

is only one way I know that works every time: PRAYER!!

Confess your sins against others to God. Not only ask him to forgive you, but ask him to help you

get on with your life by getting beyond those things.

If you’ve only been carrying those feelings a short time, a few prayers may help you get beyond

them.

But, if you’ve carried them for a long time, they have probably cut a deep channel into your soul

and it may take many prayers to be set free from them.

Prayer can literally set you totally free from them! You can refuse to carry them any longer.

I know that before today is over, I may get angry with someone, or hurt by something someone says or does to me. And I

may even want to pout for a while – ‘That just wasn’t fair.’

But I absolutely refuse to allow myself to be enslaved by carrying around grudges, resentments and unforgivenesses

against someone else.

When you REFUSE to carry those negative emotions and thoughts in your soul, you’ll be surprised

how much energy you’ll have to build the bonds of love with others. AND you will be surprised

how much better your life will become!

LET IT GO!! It is not worth what it will cost you mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually to

carry grudges, resentments and unforgivenesses.

Here’s to growing wise and refusing to carry around those negative emotions and thoughts!!

With prayers of healing for all of us!

Shalom!

Pr. Warren

Adult Education

Sunday School

)Adult Mid-Week Opportunities Wednesday: Devotions, Prayer & Fellowship, 6:06 AM

Thursday: Women’s Bible Study, 1 PM

(a new study will begin on June 11: Anointed, Transformed, Redeemed: A Study of David)

1. Faith and Discovery: New text! Please join

us on April 12 as we start Dining with the Devil: The Megachurch Movement Flirts with Modernity by Os Guinness. An assessment of one of Christianity's most powerful movements. What shapes the message of the church? The Bible and Spirit, or society and culture? Led by Mike Hamilton.

2. Lectionary Bible Study: What is a

lectionary? A lectionary is a list of scripture readings assigned to be read on a particular day. This class will study and discuss the week’s readings used in our Sunday worship. Led by Tom Duncan.

3. Bible Studies for Life: The Ragamuffin

Gospel by Brennan Manning. Many believers feel stunted in their Christian growth. We beat ourselves up over our failures and, in the process, pull away from God because we subconsciously believe He tallies our defects and hangs His head in disappointment. The Father beckons us to Himself with a “furious love” that burns brightly and constantly. Only when we truly embrace God’s grace can we bask in the joy of a gospel that enfolds the most needy of His flock: the “ragamuffins.” Led by Gwen

Dornbos.

Though our class list is reduced for the summer, there are still learning experiences for everyone: now is a great time to visit a new class and see if it is a good fit for you.

For parents, the nursery is available for kids up to age 5; and Summer Sunday School for school-age children June 7—July 26.

Dear Friends,

A thank you note doesn’t adequately express our sincere

thanks and gratitude for the many kindnesses and acts of love

that have been poured upon us in the recent months. We were

tremendously blessed by the bridal shower hosted by Traci

Billman and Connie Jaramillo. They are both wonderful

co-workers, but more over they are great friends! The gifts, cards, and sharing in

our celebration mean more to us than we could ever tell you. We treasure the advice

that many of you have given us on a happy marriage.

The St. Mark’s family that welcomed

me here, almost 5 years ago to the

day, have welcomed Stan in such

a loving way now. We are

blessed beyond measure by the

friendships we have made and the

love you’ve shown us.

With Love,

Stan and Emily Jacobs
