A Root of Bitterness
June 28th 2007 03:47
Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble [you], and thereby many be defiled; Hebrews 12:15
When a person is wronged in life, there is a decision to make. A.) Let the resentment build up inside and eventually it will turn to bitterness. The bible as stated above describes it as a "root" of bitterness. Being bitter against someone is much like taking poison into one's body and expecting the person to whom you are bitter against to die of poisoning! The only person who suffers is he who is bitter Or, B.) Be better. Refuse to give in to it and go to prayer and trust God to work it out and he will.
