Bitterness: The Choice is Ours

Bitterness: The Choice is Ours

October 23, 2019 by brooke

Bitterness is one of the the most consuming of emotions. It’s human nature to feel disappointed, betrayed, envious, and frustrated at times; but we must be cautious as to how we refine those feelings on a daily basis.

If we aren’t regularly tending to our heart it quickly becomes a breeding ground for seeds of bitterness and eventually leaves us with a garden of resentment.

Hebrews 12:15 stresses this very value.

“Look after each other so that none of you fails to receive the grace of God. Watch out that no poisonous root of bitterness grows up to trouble you, corrupting many.”

The choice is ours. We choose how we cultivate our hearts. We choose who we give control to. We choose if we forgive those who’ve wronged us. We choose.

Our heart can either be a place where bitterness thrives or one where bitterness dies — the choice is ours.
