“Stop fighting a fight,
it’s already been won.”
From “I am redeemed”
by Big Daddy Weave
I’ve heard this
song on the Christian radio station hundreds of times, but never listened to the
words. The other night, driving home from work, these words really caught my
attention.
Whether you’re a
Christian or not, don’t you ever feel like you are fighting something that
really isn’t worth it, or it’s not even your battle, or it’s over and done with
and you still are hanging onto it? Maybe someone unintentionally hurt your
feelings years ago and you still remember it, you still hold a grudge against
that person. Or maybe you didn’t get the job you felt you were so qualified
for. Or maybe your spouse has been cheating on you and your heart just feels so
filled with hatred that you can’t see straight.
There are a hundred
different scenarios and we have each had one whittling away at us. And where
has that gotten us?
Whatever you are
keeping inside of you, whatever is eating at you, let it go. Stop fighting something
that may or may not even be there. The
battle is over and done with.
