Teflon Love - #5790
Is there some resentment, some anger, some bitterness that you've allowed to stick to your soul toward someone in your family; maybe even your mate or your child or your parent? Or maybe it's hard feelings toward someone at church, or where you work, in a ministry you're involved with. The Bible calls it a "root of bitterness" and says what will happen if you allow it to grow in you much longer. "It will cause trouble and defile many."

Bitterness in the Bible: Ephesians 4:31-32
A life defined by Christlike love has no room for bitterness. We're to put any lingering bitterness we hold behind us for good, along with anger, slander, and other negative emotions and words.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Soul Cancer - #8159
...when you keep on replaying the bad that someone’s done to you, it’s eventually going to turn into that soul cancer called bitterness. The more you feed on how they’ve wronged you, the more bitter you’re going to become.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Somebody's Got to Move - #5684
Isn't it time to release that bitterness? Hasn't it done enough damage? It isn't hurting the person you're bitter toward. It's hurting you, and probably others you love. Bitterness can only be moved out by something called forgiveness.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Wounded But Still Fighting - #4301
If you've taken some hits lately - you're hurt, you're knocked down, you're wounded - then the stirring testimony of the Apostle Paul in 2 Corinthians 4, beginning with verse 7, should be an encouragement and a challenge to you. It's our word for today from the Word of God. It comes from one who has been wounded over and over again, and who refuses to stop fighting for Jesus.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Longer it Waits, the Harder it Gets - #4593
Maybe there's a strained relationship in your life right now. Maybe there have been too many sunsets and bad feelings toward someone. It will never be smaller than it is right now. It's probably bigger than it used to be, but this is the smallest it will ever be. This issue will never be easier to address than right now, no matter how hard that might seem to you. It's only going to get harder. It's only going to get more costly, and you'll only turn darker inside. Today is always your best opportunity to go to that person and do whatever it takes to repair things.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Feeding On Bitterweed - #4036
When cows feed on something bitter, they start producing something that's bitter. So do we. That's why God warns us in Hebrews 12:15, our word for today from the Word of God: "See to it that no one misses the grace of God." Now, that's a horrible thought. God's grace is something we cannot afford to miss. How does that happen? It goes on to say "...and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many." Don't let any bitterweed - or bitter root - grow up in your heart. If you do, it will ruin the taste of many things in your life.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Cutting the Rope That Ties You Down - #5267
The irony of bitterness is that it ties us emotionally to the very person we're bitter toward. It's like trying to run full speed in a three-legged race. You can't run like you need to run until you cut the rope that ties you to the person who wronged you. And that can only be done by doing what seems unthinkable - forgiving that person.
