LET IT GO!
There are times in life when a silver platter is offered to you; it’s the perfect opportunity for you to be bitter and angry towards that person who has purposefully done you wrong. It is at these times that we need to see a bigger picture; the life-picture that God sees. This is what the Bible calls wisdom.
Prov 19:11 A man's wisdom gives him patience; it is to his glory to overlook an offense.
Ephesians 4:31-32 Get rid of all bitterness, rage, and anger, brawling, and slander, along with every form of malice. 32 Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
Hebrews 12:15 15 See to it that no one misses the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many.
Bitterness is a severe and destructive force that destroys the person who lives in it! Bitterness is deceitful, in that, it is like drinking deadly poison while thinking it will hurt the person the bitterness is directed at. When we accept the love of God, it causes us to live in the wisdom of God, and the wisdom of God empowers us to overlook what has been done wrong against us. Living in bitterness hurts the one who is bitter and releases damaging powers that destroy relationships, families, marriages, businesses, and even health.
The enemy carefully prepares situations to bring about stagnation or even death to the prosperity God has planned for you. The biggest way he does this is through offense and bitterness. There is only one way to escape the deceitful attacks afforded through offense is to be filled with the love of God.
The full reception of the powerful revelation of the love of God and being completely forgiven is like a super wall of protection around you, protecting you from these deceitful schemes of the enemy. When you are loved, bitterness has no hold on you, and you are able to let it go.
Because the nature of God is forgiveness, God is glorified when we forgive others! To let go of an offense through forgiveness opens the door for God’s grace to empower you to live in the amazing future he has pre-ordained for you! May the grace of God and the wisdom of God be upon you today; may your life bring him glory! May you live the life of being completely loved and forgiven and, may you…
