Bitterness is a cancer in my family which is being uprooted in me, since i'm sick of being a casualty and a victim. My grandmother was bitter her whole life because of a car accident. My father is bitter for a reason unknown to me. I know bitterness is wrong, i have known this for years but i have started to put action behind my saying: "I will not be like them," because I see what it does, and I've started to forgive. Since the tongue that brings healing is a tree of life but a deceitful tongue crushes the spirit (pr 15:4). Bitterness produces liars, manipulators, touchy people, conceit and a whole host of other problems. That I do not want because I've seen what those chains do, and how blind you become to it. You see Jesus didn't spit on his murders, he forgave them. So I shall do the same... since actions speak louder than words.

this post is more true now than when I wrote it over a year ago, thank God.
