Refuse Bitterness



Ephesians 4:31, NIV. Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice.”

Bitterness  is an extremely destructive force. It seeps into the depths of your heart when you choose not to forgive someone.

The root of bitterness also causes other sins to grow upward and outward, “causing trouble” and “defiling many” other people

When you harbor unforgiveness, it closes the door to God’s power working in your life.

The Bible even tells us that if we choose not to forgive others, God cannot even hear our prayers.

 Daily remind yourself that your sin against God, which has already been forgiven in Christ, is greater than anyone else’s sin against you and that your new standard for forgiving others is how much God has forgiven you

Forgive from your heart those who have hurt you, real or imagined, intentional or unintentional

Never seek revenge or make people pay for their sin ( Rom. 12:19 ). Jesus already paid for it completely ( 1 Pet 3:18 ).


 You can make the choice to get rid of bitterness so you can live in freedom!

Set people free, and let God set you free .

God bless you.
