I had slowly begun to leave the Lord out of it. The Word says in Esther that Haman was hung on the very gallows that he built to exact revenge against Mordecai. Later, in Matthew, the Prodigal's brother took himself out of the celebration of his brother's return to the family. I always wonder what else his bitterness cost him. The stories go on.
Bitterness kills faith in the one source of true, undying help and compassion.
I read on. That was tough. However, the bible is also filled with stories of those who, while they had every reason to be bitter, chose not to be. Paul could have been bitter. Instead, he sang praises in the prison.
