Bitterness will destroy you

Bitterness destroys many people.  Many people carry bad experiences with them and those experiences determine how they react later in life.  How they live their lives, how they interact with other people.  Many people feel rejected and therefore they reject other people.  They have been cheated, they have been abused and therefore they treat other people with suspicion even hatred.  Many people in relationships, in marriages, they are bitter against each other, they resent each other, they hate each other and it destroys that relationship.  Many people become depressed which leads to drug use and drug abuse and addiction and often to suicide.  Bitterness is a KILLER and we must get rid of it dear friends.  Jesus taught us to pray. I read the Lord’s prayer in Matthew 6:12 “And forgive us our debts, as we also HAVE FORGIVEN our debtors.” If we do not forgive those who have wronged us, who have sinned against us, then we cannot get forgiveness from God.  We must let go.
We also read in Mark 11:25 “Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father also who is in Heaven may forgive you your transgressions. But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in Heaven forgive your transgressions.” Dear friend, we must let go of bitterness, it destroys us, the root of bitterness will kill us if we allow it to grow in us.  We must pull it out.  Invite Jesus into your life and let the peace of Jesus come into you. He says vengeance is Mine, I will repay.  Let go of your bitterness.  Repent of it, give it up, give it to Jesus and He will give you peace in your heart.  If you forgive others you can also get forgiveness and you can have peace with God.  Many people hate God for things that happened in their life, they feel that God should have prevented it.  Dear friends, we must let go of it.  Let go of the hatred, let go of the bitterness, the animosity and then you will get free.  If we set others free, then we ourselves are also set free.  Trust in Jesus friend and He will give you peace in your heart and your whole life will change.  He will make you new.  He will forgive your sins as you forgive others theirs also.  And that root of bitterness will be taken out and you will be healed.
May Jesus bless you.
