Poison “Let all bitterness … be put away from you” “Holding on to anger and bitterness is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.” At first we may smile at the above quote, but with this unique analogy there comes a message that I believe is important for us to consider. So often we harbor anger, bitterness or an unforgiving attitude, thinking that it is going to affect or change the other person, when in reality it does as much — or even more — damage to us. The result of imbibing this poison of anger and bitterness is that we lose the enjoyment of several things: Our communion with the Lord. Our joy in the Lord. Our walk before the Lord. Our dependence on the Lord. Our service for the Lord. That is why we are exhorted, “Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled” (Hebrews 12:15).
