How to be Free From Bitterness





It’s been a long time.

I was too busy, and then too bitter, and then too depressed to write anything, but God has been teaching me nonetheless.

In the midst of overwork and insomnia, I had some social drama at church and couldn’t bring myself to go back. I didn’t want to see anyone. I didn’t want to talk to anyone. I couldn’t make myself go to church, and although I knew the right thing, I couldn’t do it.

So I went everywhere else. 

I went to churches in Spokane. I went to church with my family. I went to every other church in Moscow, worshiped, and left without talking to anyone.

One day, a pastor introduced himself. He made some small talk, and I mentioned my social drama. “I probably just need to get over my issues and go back.”

He suggested I meet with his wife, and she taught me how to get rid of bitterness.

Cool thing, the book she gave me about bitterness has a free PDF version online. Here it is for your reading pleasure.


Things to pray for:

Healing.

Change so I will begin once more to live the life God created me for. I lived it for a time, times, and half a time, but then curled up into a ball and said, “No more.”
