I want to hear you say I'm your very special girl. One day in class, I got a hint of what might be keeping me from a closer relationship with God. My teacher was speaking about bitterness. We think this will protect us from more hurt, but often the worse enemy is inside those walls. That enemy is bitterness.
Bitterness is like a sliver.
If left alone, it will fester and get worse and worse. It will poison you and all your relationships. You must release the hurt to Jesus. You must let him pull out the sliver. Confess your sin of bitterness to God and to the person who's hurt you.
