Resentments are persistent things, a lot like zombies. When we reflect morbidly on the past we are engaging in mental
grave robbing. Now, no
matter what we do, until a zombie is dealt with, typically by shooting
them in the head if the movies are accurate, they will keep coming back inflicting more havoc and
much
like zombies resentments move slowly but steadily. Morbid reflection usually starts
when we begin rehashing an old hurt, infusing it with new life, often
without even remembering how we started down this path of thought in the
first place. This mental grave robbing happens
when we backtrack
on
forgiveness. Now Zombies never
have our best interests in mind, in fact they just want to eat our brains.
Morbid reflection does exactly the same thing, except it is from the
inside out.
To be free
of morbid reflection we must forgive, in thought and deed those who have transgressed against
us.
Additionally we must forgive ourselves for
all our transgressions, real and imagined. As the Great
Carpenter taught…
let the dead bury the dead (Matthew 8:22),
leave resentments and old hurts in the peaceful ground of forgiveness, lest we
unearth a morbid reflection zombie and we all know how hard they are to evict once they
take up residence.
