Heb 12:15 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;
Being a Christian does not exempt us from loss and disappointment. One of the dangers of disappointments and loss is bitterness. There is a certain pain and discouragement that naturally accompanies loss and disappointment. However, we need to learn to seek God’s grace, to rely on His love and care, to be able to overcome our discouragement. To allow our self to seek comfort in self pity exposes us to spiritual danger and bitterness. Bitterness is a poison that will prove to be spiritually fatal to our self and a great hindrance to those around us. Don’t fail the grace of God; seek comfort and refreshing in His love and care.
