ever eat an acorn?

acorns are nasty. theyre bitter. bitter....hmm....

bitterness. this is the dumbest thing but the easiest thing to harbor inside us and just let it fester. its one of those sins that we try to hold on to because it gives us some kind of feeling. something like were in control i guess. you know the feeling i mean. the one that you just like to have. sometimes you just LIKE to feel sorry for yourself. you can deny it but youve more than likely been there before. you want to feel bad for yourself and see how terrible things are and think 'oh pity me. im a poor poor soul.' as pathetic as that sounds, it's true.
which brings me back to
bitterness.
it's another one of those things that, like i said, we just hold on to because it gives us one of those feelings. we cant let it go or it's like were punkin out to whatever made us bitter to begin with. we cant just forget it, somebody has to pay. revenge has to be made. they have to pay for what theyve done.
news flash.
bitterness is a double edged sword.
while you may think that your bitterness will rain down something awful on somebody else check this, its tearing you down and you dont even notice it. you think youre storing up your ammo to fire on them but its blowin up steadily on you. im sittin here right now seeing the harvest of s bitter soul and, guys, its ugly. its wearin on this person and its prolly wearin a bit on the person theyre bitter at only in a different way.
pride is terrible.
when youre bitter think about this.

what does it prove.
what will it accomplish.
what good comes from it.

nothing.
nothing.
none.

theres your answers.

you being internally bitter only leads to you being externally angry. when the chance to be bitter comes up youve got one or two choices.
be bitter and bottle it up.
or.
dont pay any mind to it.

i try to choose the latter most the time.

there have been times ive chosen the first and its terrible.
you think youre in control, you think youll show them whos boss, you think youll prove to them you cant be pushed around.
YOU ARE RUINING YOURSELF BEING BITTER.
how many people like bitter milk?
bitter candy?
bitter anything?
none. except for the few odd balls.

bitter people arent good for anything.

im rambling just to get this off my chest and cause i havent written anything in a while but know this.

being bitter doesnt solve any problems.
it doesnt prove any point.
it doesnt help your spiritual walk.
it doesnt improve your life.

it has NO positive impact.

God said something like this,
'Whoa chile, leave the revenge stuff up to me. I know what the deal is.'

be like a duck and let it roll off your back.
bitterness only steals the time you could have been joyful in.

holla.
