    based on 1 rating
     | 101 views

    When criticism is based on lies and bathed in bitterness, it is essential to recognize that it is not coming from God.

    As Christians, we are not immune to criticism. In fact, Jesus promised that we would face persecution and criticism for our faith (John 15:18-21).

    The bitterness that we feel when we first realise what we have done is compared to the bitterness of losing an only son. Perhaps in this we begin to understand what it cost the LORD God to secure the free gift of our salvation.

    GRACE, REPENTANCE, FORGIVENESS. Zechariah 12:10; Zechariah 13:1. The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ loved us before we loved Him (1 John 4:19). God ‘so loved’ us that He sent His Son Jesus into this world to die for our sins (John 3:16). Christ died and rose again, and ever intercedes ...read more

If I am not careful, it can become an addiction, leading to being overweight and health problems. I am still ...read more

    based on 287 ratings

    Being stuck in a relationship of abuse or neglect can cause you to suppress anger. Suppressed anger, in time, will break out of your weak restraints and display itself in many self-destructive ways. It can turn into resentment or bitterness, gradually simmering to the boiling point-at which time ...read more
