Bitterness
Unhealed Wounds
Bitterness
is the offspring of an unhealed wound—whose parents are unforgiveness and time.

The Root of Bitterness
The longer
you allow the root of bitterness to grow in the soil of your heart, the more
love it will devour.

It Starts By Being Offended
Every
bitter person had his or her start through being offended by someone.

The Cost of Bitterness
"We cannot live with
bitterness because it will first manifest itself in our spirit, then in our
emotions, and finally in our bodies." --Tom Drout
