⇨ obsess over bad things that people have done to me.

⇨ avoid people I'm mad at.

⇨ feel intense anger about things in my past.

⇨ want people to pay for what they have done to me.

⇨ sometimes want to hurt myself to make the pain others have caused me go away.

⇨ secretly want bad things to happen to certain people.

Bitterness is like taking little doses of poison -- over time it will steal your life away.

God wants you to experience the freedom and peace of forgiveness.

Ephesians 4:31-32 ==>> "Do not be bitter or angry or mad. Never shout angrily or say things to hurt others. Never do anything evil. Be kind and loving to each other, and forgive each other just as God forgave you in Christ."
