Summary

We all hold a scorecard. It’s where we’ve scribbled down who has hurt us and what they have done to us. This scorecard shapes and influences the way we see the world, how we view ourselves, and sometimes, our perspective of God himself. Everything is framed by these mental notes. Each tally mark has us seething with anger. We want people to pay. We hope others understand the pain they’ve caused. We desire to produce some form of justice that either gets us what we want or punishes the one who kept us from getting it.THE BIG IDEA: Anger can dissolve even if the issue doesn’t get resolved.
