Why will anyone reject the offer of owning half of a kingdom and rather request for the head of a man?! In Mark 6, Herodias advised her daughter to do such. This intense anger all stems from the fact that she "nursed a grudge against John"(Mark 6:19)(emphasis mine).
We associate with other people everyday, with both new and old contacts. The likelihood of being offended in one way or the other is always high. But then, what do we do with that feeling of hurt? Do we keep it in our hearts, watering it with negative thoughts day by day? or do we prune it out of our lives. Herodias was able to demand for the head of a man because her nursed grudge was now fully developed.

What are you nursing?
