How a grudge is like a turd

While teaching a lesson on the book of Obadiah to my church youth group , I used the following illustration:

Similarities between holding a grudge and holding a turd

  1. You think it’s valuable, but everyone else sees that it is not.
  2. It makes you unpleasant to be around.
  3. You can’t get clean as long as you are holding on to it.
  4. You think you are hurting another person by holding it.
  5. You look stupid for doing it.
  6. It will eventually infect every area of your life.
