: two of my favorite saying I ran across

: releases you from the offense". and
: "forgiving is giving up all hope of a

: My thoughts and comments today about
: bitterness is “Get Over It.”
:
:
:
: By Pastor Allen Randolph
:
:
:
: There will be things that happen when the
: best thing you can do is just get over it.
: Things happen in families, between friends,
: in churches, at school, at work, or on the
: highway. Something is said about you, or to
: you, that hurts your feelings; get over it.
: Something is done that you feel was unfair;
: get over it. Some recognition or opportunity
: that should have been yours was given to
: another; get over it. That is easier said
: than done, but really is the best thing to
: do for yourself, as well as the kindest
: thing you can do for others.
:
: Saying what you refuse to not say? You
: eventually regret it. Reacting as you feel
: like doing? You merely complicate the
: problem. However good those may feel
: momentarily, you can damage a relationship
: in ways that might never be mended, and you
: can plant a seed of resentment that will
: grow with less than pleasant results. “Be
: quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to
: get angry. Your anger can never make things
: right in God’s eyes.” James 1:19-20 NLT.
: Ultimately, that is most important – “things
: right in God’s eyes” What else matters? The
: Bible’s wise counsel is, “If it is possible,
: as far as it depends on you, live at peace
: with everyone . . do not be overcome by
: evil, but overcome evil with good.” Romans
: 12:18/21 NIV. Your wrong reaction makes the
: original cause of offense irrelevant to God.
: You cannot control what others do; you must
: choose what is right for you to do in
: response.
:
: “Make every effort to live in peace with all
: men . . See to it that no one misses the
: grace of God and that no bitter root grows
: up to cause trouble and defile many.”
: Hebrews 12:15 NIV. This practical verse
: teaches four things. (1) Bitterness develops
: a power and life of its own, however small
: it begins. (2) Bitterness grows when
: indulged, no matter how justified those
: feelings seem. (3) Bitterness defiles
: relationships beyond any expectation. (4)
: Bitterness is a symptom of your failing to
: accept the grace of God for the wrong you
: feel, whether real or imagined. Bitterness
: is proof of insistence on your right to hold
: onto a grievance, even after God says,
: “Forgive!” That never works out well.
:
: And what is this grace that is yours? God
: gives you the grace to forgive; forgiveness
: offers the grace to get over it. “Get rid of
: all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words . .
: instead be kind to one another,
: tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just
: as God through Christ has forgiven you . .
: you have clothed yourself with a brand new
: nature that is continually being renewed as
: you learn more and more about Christ, who
: created this new nature within you.”
: Ephesians 4:31-32/ Colossians 3:10 NLT.
: God’s Word provides a proven formula for how
: marriages work best, families stay
: strongest, and friendships last longest.
:
:
:
: My prayer for you today is this: when
: unfortunate things happen, forgive and get
: over it.

: of these my brothers and sisters, you were
: doing it to me!'

: ~ Matthew 25:40, NLT
:
:
:
: "Life without God is like an
: unsharpened pencil - it has no point".
