Don’t let your bitterness,
make you sour . . .
lest it’ll take from you
the Holy Spirit’s power.
For, bitterness will cause,
discontentment to grow
propelling your temper
to erupt and blow.
Don’t let any resentment,
enter into your soul
lest anger and frustration
will start to take control.
For resentment ignites,
the fires of animosity
and begrudging others
only inflames hostility.
Don’t let your bitterness
stir up resentment and strife
but rather strive to find . . .
God’s peace in your life!
~~~~~~
“Follow peace with all men,
and holiness, without which
no man shall see the Lord:
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;”
King James Version

Thanks so much for this timely post. The message heard this past Sunday touched upon the destructive impact of bitterness and other negative emotions. The poem was especially meaningful. So well said.
Thanks for the recent likes on my blog.
God bless.

Good. That’s good. I think my posts are a lot about gratefulness and staying in God’s peace. It’s not always perfect or how I Think it should Look BUT HE is so good and Faithful!
