Ephesians 4:2 āBe completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.ā
Bitterness creeps into your life almost without you knowing it. Unresolved anger or resentment leads to bitterness. Your bitterness becomes your lens of how you view life. So, how can you recognize bitterness and break free from it?
So, whatās the cure for bitterness? When youāre bitter, you think about othersā sins against you. You arenāt thinking about your sin against other people. The only cure for breaking free from bitterness is forgiveness. First, ask God to forgive you for your sin, and second, forgive others for their sin against you.
And why worry about a speck in your friendās eye when you have a log in your own? How can you think of saying, āLet me help you get rid of that speck in your eye,ā when you canāt see past the log in your own eye? Hypocrite! First get rid of the log from your own eye; then perhaps you will see well enough to deal with the speck in your friendās eye. Matthew 7:3-5 (NLT)
Itās important to admit your own responsibility. Be willing to own your sin and ask forgiveness. Even in situations where others have hurt you though you may not have sinned, if you harbor anger and resentment, you can ask God to forgive you. Ask Him to help you forgive the one who sinned against you. It doesnāt mean God condones their actions, but forgiving them frees you so you can let go of bitterness and anger. You can rest assured that God knows the evil done to you.
Have a blessed Tuesday
