Romans 12:19 "Don't insist on getting even; that's not for you to do. "I'll do the judging," says God. "I'll take care of it." Bitterness is a spiritual sickness. If we get caught up in it, it will consume our soul. So how can we rid ourselves of this destructive emotional feeling? We must prayerfully ask God to cleanse our hearts. We must also learn to catch ourselves when thoughts of bitterness or hatred arise. In our Christian faith we are taught that when we judge others, we are subject to be judged. Let us refrain from judging and instead leave the judging to our Father in heaven.
