Rid yourself of all Bitterness

Ephesians 4:31

Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice.


Bitterness is actually having a strong unpleasant emotional feeling which  most time is borne out of an unfair treatment we received from others. Bitterness is you actually allowing the wrong doings of others get to you and this might really cost you your health if proper care is not taken.

Much more than affecting your health, it might actually hinder you from receiving your desires in the place of prayer because the things of God don’t thrive in an atmosphere of bitterness and hatred. But you can save yourself of stress.

Remember, you might not be able to control the way people conduct themselves towards you but you can control your own conduct towards others. A simple way of getting rid of bitterness is simply  focusing your attention on being kind and compassionate to others based on the goodness of God that you have enjoyed too.

Beloved, God wants you well, don’t suffer yourself harm. The more you dwell in bitterness by focusing on the wrongs that has been done to you, the more danger you are doing to yourself. Get rid of bitterness by being kind and compassionate to others in the measure of that which you have enjoyed from God too. Let loose of all bitterness. Forgive just has you have been forgiven.
Amen.

I am kind,
I exercise self control,
And I forgive all wrongs done towards me
