🔸️ Don't allow bitterness with each other! 🔸️

Husbands and wives in the family must accept the advice of focusing about the tongue. Because in Colossians 3:19 we read as "Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them". This verse not only denotes about speaking bitter words, but also this verse indicates about the bitterness in your heart. You can have a "bitter spirit" without saying single word. This is what the Scriptures refer to in Hebrews 12:15 as "the root of bitterness." This bitterness has not yet appeared on your lips! Because this bitterness is only the beginning root in your heart. Something your spouse had done or talked about might have caused bitterness in your heart. Or you may have the slightest bitter feeling, "Why is she still having close attachment with her parents?" Yes, you are not talking about these! Because you might have the impression that there should not be any arguments and fights in your home. But the "root of bitterness" has sprung up in your heart!

Do you think the root will remain as it is? Even if you don't desire it, Satan will water this root and grow it. Thus Satan is always eager to grow the root of bitterness. Because you don't pay attention to remove the root of bitterness, suddenly some actions or bitter words will come out of you. Yes, you must guard your heart against the spirit of blame and bitterness. The moment when all of these sprout into your heart, you have to pluck and throw it away!

Prayer:

Heavenly Father! Give us strength to keep us in your power so that the "bitter root" doesn't appear under any circumstances in the family! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.
