. (Heb 12:15 KJV) Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;
Beware of bitterness. Bitterness is resentment, it makes us sour in our attitude and spirit; it produces a hostile attitude. Bitterness usually arises from a real or supposed ill-treatment. It is a smoldering anger, resentment, ill will, animosity, enmity. It produces a harshness that results in intentional unkindness, sharp words. Beware of bitterness. Don’t let it take root. It is a poison that will sour everything it comes in contact with, and eventually, kill you spiritually. Look diligently, don’t fail of the grace of God. Leave situations in God’s hands. Don’t brood on them. Don’t let hurt and anger progress to bitterness. Don’t let someone else’s sin cost you your spiritual life. Beware of bitterness. Don’t let it take root in you.
