Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord: looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled;
Hebrews 12:14-15 NKJV
Things do happen and words are spoken that require the an attitude of forgiveness.There are those things which happened thirty years ago are just as alive as they were the minute they happened in our hearts. This bitterness led to unforgiving spirit to continue taking control in our loves as the result the root of bitterness springing up and cause trouble to many.
The Bible teaches us to look carefully which means to pay close attention, that we may not fall short of the grace of God.Every man is in danger, it is his personal duty to see that his salvation is secure.Lest the root of bitterness springing up- A
root of bitterness signifies a poisonous plant, or in other words or a man holding unsound doctrines, and
endeavoring to spread them in the Church.
In a course of life, there are those people who hurt you, rejected, laugh at you and sometimes even abused you in one way or another. We tend to hold these people inside of us, and every time we remember what they did to us, the root of bitterness springing up and cause a lot to us and to our loved ones. There are some women who hate all men, because once in their lives came a man who lied to them and took them for granted.
This morning, God wants you to let go any kind of bitterness which you have been keeping inside of you. You may be asking yourself that where was God when someone abused you, or when life treated you unfairly? God was still with you that's why, through it all you made alive to the shore! Living with unforgiveness is like locking yourself in a cell, there are many things which you won't be able to see out there because you locked yourself in a small dark room inside of your heart.
If you have bitterness and unforgiving attitude, you will not be able to see love. You will not be able to receive love from anyone because you will fear to be hurt again and hence you will close doors. God loves is able to reach and heal every wound in you, to restore peace inside which the devil has taken away from you. Choose to forgive today, let go of that bitterness that God loves may take control.
