As we journey through life, there will be times where people will upset us, disappoint us, abandon us, and even betray us. The temptation is to grow bitter and resentful, and shut people out of our lives and eventually grow cold. But God's desire for us is to live free from the bitterness that would try to take root in our heart, and let His love, light and grace flow out instead. It's time to pull out the root of bitterness from our lives, and walk afresh in God's abundant mercy and grace, before the devastating effects of bitterness take hold.
