Are we Justified?

Bitterness, generally thought of as an adult disease, is something that we have a hard time with and that small little concept called forgiveness. We feel that we are justified in the feelings that we have. As the good ole saying goes if you drink poison the person you hate is sure to die, right? Okay, so I am a little sarcastic but only to prove a point. Why is that we seem to be “justified” in today's society for bitterness? And how do we deal with or manage these “justified” feelings? Through love, which conquers all. I know that I have written about this somewhat before. But as the greatest and most important commandment I think that it bears some weight. Why is that we hold on to that which is detrimental to our physical, mental and spiritual well being? Do we choose battles, over love? Hatred or bitterness over peace with all? Originally when I started this article I questioned and asked how, why, and the solution. I had pages of information. But when all is said and done does all that matter? No, because you can know everything about it, how many times the bible mentions it, and the definition, but if you wish to get rid of it there is only one thing you need to know. Love conquers all. I am not saying that it is going to be easy, but a weeded garden is a place that all want to come. You shall bear witness by the fruit that you bear.

Bitterness imprisons life; love releases it. Bitterness paralyzes life; love empowers it. Bitterness sours life; love heals it. Bitterness blinds life; love anoints its eye.
