“When we release bitter judgement, it brings death. But when we release forgiveness, it brings life.” - @chrisvonne In week 5 of “The Freedom You Long For”, Christine spoke on the topic of Bitterness & Forgiveness. In Hebrews 12:15, we learn of how we should not allow any bitter root to grow, as it will bring trouble to us and defile those around us. Many of us live unaware of our bitter root system, which are a result of our own sinful reactions to our circumstances. When we feed these bitter root judgements and place bitter expectations on people, they reinforce the sinful structures in our lives that eventually manifest into bitter fruits. These bitter fruits isolate us and prevent us from building healthy relationships with the people around us, and ultimately forms a vicious cycle that is hard to break. So how do we find freedom from these bitter roots? 1. By acknowledging that only God, the one who is perfectly holy and good, can be the rightful Judge. 2. By acknowledging the bitter roots in our lives, repenting of our sins, forgiving the people that have hurt us and caused our bitter roots to grow, and extending grace to others.
