“Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be
holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord. See to it that
one falls short of the grace of God and that no bitter
roof grows up to cause trouble and defile many.”
Hebrews 12:14-15
“Like a small root that grows into a great tree, bitterness springs up in our hearts and over shadows even our deepest Christian relationships. A “bitter root” comes when we allow disappointment grow into resentment, or when we nurse grudges over past hurts. Bitterness brings with it jealousy, dissension, and immorality. When the Holy Spirit fills us, however, he can heal the hurt that causes bitterness.”
~ Life Application Study Bible
