5 Steps to be free from the root of bitterness

"Why was my pain perpetual, and my hopeless wound admitted no cure? Will you be like an illusory thing to me, like waters that are not stable? Therefore thus says the LORD: If you repent, I will restore you, and you will be before me; and if you select the precious from the vile, you will be like my mouth, they will become you, and you will not convert to them ». Jeremiah 15.18,19

1.- We must take something good out of all the bad things we have experienced.

God is saying to Jeremiah: If you could see how precious and good I am going to produce from that bad, rest assured that you will come out of this pain; and even though I have not sent you this problem, I can make something beautiful, precious and valuable from this for your growth, and I can turn all this bad into a great blessing.

He will never be healed of a great pain, of a difficult situation, of a despair, of that which was stripped from him, nor of that wound that they reacted, if he can not see that, of that terrible negative problem, God has the power to bring a beautiful blessing God has all the authority to do it.

2.- Must Take the willingness to forgive
Must take the willingness to forgive and go to God, ask forgiveness and all those who remember that you have offended.

3.- You must make a list
You must make a list with the names of the people who have hurt you or have taken something that you think was theirs.

4.- Express forgiveness
He has to express his forgiveness by recognizing and conforming it.

He has to be specific with each word and fact with which he was wounded, and to this he adds if he has been rejected or a situation occurred that could have saddened him.

5.- He must repent for the sin of judgment

He must repent for the sin of judgment, for wanting this person to suffer for what he has done and repent for having blamed God.

You should know that when there is a lack of forgiveness and the root of bitterness in our lives, we begin to judge people and that becomes a terrible sin, thus opening a big door to the satan. We should remember that in the verse: Hebrews 12:15, it clearly tells us that if we leave this root of bitterness, we can not reach the grace of God. He does not like this condition, because we must have mercy, and to forgive is a fundamental principle of his kingdom.
