Bitterness not only causes symptoms of trauma like sleeplessness, fatigue, and lack of libido, it can in the long term lead to low self-confidence, negative personality shifts, and an inability to have a healthy relationship.
Why is bitterness a sin?
Hebrews 12:15 says, “See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God; that no “root of bitterness” springs up and causes trouble, and by it many become defiled.” Bitterness is a sin that catches us by surprise. It begins by peeking through the surface as a seedling of negative thoughts or complaining.
What God says about bitterness?
Hebrews 12:15
If you have a bitter root, it affects others whether you see it or not. By removing that bitter root, you preserve peace and faith among your relatives, friends, coworkers, and others. It’s worth the fight not only for you but for everyone else who is involved.
