Bitterness is a Device of the Devil to Cause Hurt
“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.” Hebrews 12:14-15.
Bitterness, when it springs up in ones heart can cause you much trouble, and then turn and cause many to be defiled.
That hurt then spreads to many people.
The fact is, the devil is always going about seeking someone whom he can make bitter through the deceitfulness of sin.
When I say deceitfulness, I speak of sinful things that cause men to stumble and hurt.
He does make many suggestions to cause some to become very bitter, and then in that bitterness…. turn and hurt others.
Bitterness is a terrible sin. We should all guard our heart that we do not become bitter.
Many times when we have done our best to be a blessing to others they do turn and trample the goodness and treat one badly.
I suppose it is because they do not understand why, or for what, you have done what you did, or say what you said.
Then, the things will lodge in the spirit and mind and grow and fester, until it become like a malignant sore, running to defile.
That bitterness — like an open sore — will overflow sooner or later and turn and hurt others.
Bitterness can only be held in ones heart just so long before it breaks out… Some go for years holding on to bitterness, but one day it erupts like a volcano.
The enemy hates it when brethren love one another. He works overtime to divide men from one another and to walk away.

Bro Ken what a needed Word for today and so on the mark! Thank you.
I too struggle with my oldest child over this. She is so bitter that she has destroyed all her important relationships including hers and mine. Been praying for 40 years for her. Don’t know what to do anymore…afraid she won’t enter God’s Kingdom even though she received Christ and is baptized
..no forgiveness in her…I think she is very emotionally disturbed. ….any ideas would be appreciated
Bitterness is not a sin, second, Naomi was so bitter she changed her name to Mara; yet she still found her destiny and got to where God was going. Lets not be so hard on ourselves. Until Christians start going down to the local courthouse to change their name, i wouldnt worry about it.
I must constantly fight this feeling almostdaily with a loved one and it has become very difficult again recently, today is a particularly bad one, my spirit is weak and I am not well,I am very tired. I feel like I am failing my Lord Jesus. Would you say a prayer for me and for my husband. God bless you
