The ultimate problem with bitterness is that all the focus is on us.  It’s on our pain and not on the great Pain Reliever.  We focus on our broken heart and not on the One who mends all brokenness when that person turns to Christ.  Bitterness takes you out of the game because it gets your attention off of your Savior and onto yourself.  Choose to live away from this tension and out-of-balance in forgiveness.  Choose  to remove the bitter root (Hebrews 12:15) and live in the freedom that forgiveness offers.  Choose to see all sin as a violation against a holy God and all of it forgivable through the priceless blood of Christ.  Choose  forgiveness today!
