LOOKING TO LET GO OF BITTERNESS?

I never knew how hard it was going to be for me to let go off all the bitterness in my life. Especially, after all the heartaches that I caused myself and from others. I grew up never understanding how people treated each other so bad the way they did. Today I realize its because I am different. God had a plan for my life having the big heart that I do. So many did me wrong my whole life from being back stabbed by friends and my x husband. When I look back honestly I feel that not really anyone really loved me for me but for what I had to offer them. I thank GOD today for all that I have been through because it made me the strong woman that I am today. However, I realized that I had a lot of bitterness within me that I had to let go. The first step is to recognize that you do. It is ok to cry and throw a fit but then you have to learn to do it and leave it there. Do not pick it back up because you will get older and it will create something within your heart that is really going to effect good relationships that you do end up having in your future. It took me a long time to get over the bitterness that I carried in my heart from those that have hurt me over my life. I got to the point where I literally would not allow anyone to get close to me at all. Which is not good for you either. I realized you can not isolate yourself because if you do and when that time comes where you are out in the open again you are not going to know how to carry yourself when the smallest thing happens that hurts you. I can remember times when I wouldn’t allow anyone to get close and then when someone said something that was hurtful my heart felt like it was going to burst out my chest. The next thing to do is to then start controlling your emotions and not allow your emotions to control you. I had to exersize strength in controlling my emotions. This is what happens when you don’t let go of that bitterness and forgive those that have hurt you. In the process you end up growing yourself. It hasn’t been an easy road but GOD gave us emotions to enjoy not to have them rule us in every area of our life. I encourage you today what ever it is that you are holding in to create any kind of bitterness in your heart to learn to forgive them and then forgive yourself. So that you can move on and grow and break away from the chains of bitterness.
