Bitterness

BEYOND BITTERNESS
 
 
 (ROMANS 12:19 MSG)
 
DON'T INSIST ON GETTING EVEN; THAT'S NOT FOR YOU TO DO. "I'LL DO THE JUDGING," SAYS GOD. "I'LL TAKE CARE OF IT.B"

 
 Bitterness is a spiritual sickness. It will consume your soul; it is dangerous to your emotional health. It can destroy you if you let it...so don't let it! 
 
If you are caught up in intense feelings of anger or resentment, you know all to well the destructive power of these emotions. How can you rid yourself of these feelings? First, you must prayerfully ask God to cleanse your heart. Then, you must learn to catch yourself whenever thoughts of bitterness or hatred begin to attack you. Your challenge is this: You must learn to resist negative thoughts before they hijack your emotions.
 
Matthew 5:22 teaches us that if we judge our brothers and sisters, we, too, will be subject to judgment. Let us refrain, then, from judging our neighbors. Instead, let us forgive them and love them, while leaving their judgment to a far more capable authority: the One who sits on his throne in heaven.
 
 
 
 
 
 
- A Daily Proverb -
(Proverbs 27:12 NIV)
A prudent person foresees the danger ahead and takes precautions. The simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences.
