Never Be Bitter
© 2015
By
Stephen A. Peterson
The heart knows his own bitterness, and no one else can share its joy.
Proverbs 14:10 (NIV)
One should never permit bitterness to disturb or ruin their personality. No matter how hateful, vindictive and heartless a person or the situation may be. Offset them with goodness, patience and kindness.
Bitterness attracts bitterness then multiples and metastases by feeding on itself. It has a way of running to those who already have a large portion of it. But it shuns those with unconditional love and the high degree of joy and reconciliation.
Attempting to justify itself, the embittered individual insists he/she has cause for their condition. Perhaps. Perhaps not. Regardless of how rich or poor anyone is, both will have to drink from life’s cup of bad breaks, failures, pain and suffering. The successful, regardless of their status, in those who learn that the bad times are temporary and have enough sweetness in their personality to dilute it. Bitter people do not. Therein lies the difference!
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, I admit that I have held bitterness towards. I confess this sin and ask for Your forgiveness. Help me, Father, to resist the temptation to hold bitterness towards others who harass me, hurt me or physically harm me. Forgive them Father as they do not know what they are doing. Thank you Father for hearing my prayer. I pray these things in the name of Your Beloved Son, Jesus Christ. Amen.
