…some people will hurt you and never ask for your forgiveness; therefore, the responsibility falls on you to protect your spirit from a root of bitterness. It can happen so easily, not intentionally, for by the very nature of our humanness we will resent who or what has hurt us. This root can begin with a single thought that seeds a superficial wound and before we realize it, we have allowed a small offense to become a painful, infectious, gaping wound that poisons our soul and spirit.
Sessions in Pain, pg. 215
Bitterness and anger can grow up with us, and in us until we cannot tell where it ends and we begin. If your soul is bitter and thorny, remember the One who wore a crown of thorns for you. Give Him your pain and bitterness, He knows where and how it began and He knows how to end it!
