Ep. 1212: Am I Too Bitter to Be Better?

Theme Scripture: Ephesians 4:31

It is easy to live with bitterness. I am not suggesting that it’s comfortable, but I am suggesting that being bitter towards one or many people or circumstances is considered acceptable. We know it’s acceptable because if we pay attention, we will see that the harsh and angry results of a bitter temperament are widely encouraged. Bitterness can enter at every turn and enters easily and stealthily. Once in, it quietly takes root, masked as what we might consider justifiable anger or a justifiable reaction to wrong, or simply a justifiable defense of one’s own self. Then it grows – quietly and under the surface at first so we are comfortable with it, until one day we wake up and it rules our life.
