Killing Bitterness - Day 3

Ephesians 4:31-32
“Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior. Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.”

At one time or another we will all deal with offense. Bitterness is the result of holding on to offense. We must reset everyday in order to stay free from the disease of bitterness.

Here are 3 steps to killing bitterness

1. Identify the root cause
2. Acknowledge you need God’s help
3. Forgive
4. Get rid of (release it) to God

As you do these things you will see the rage, harsh words, and other negative behaviors disappear.

Prayer: Lord, search me and identify every root of bitterness in my life. Give me the courage to move passed my offenses and receive your mercy as well be merciful to others. Jesus, help me to walk in forgiveness as you did even when I don’t feel like it. And Lord, I thank you for forgiving me even when I don’t deserve it.
