Like this..
An elderly lady was well known for her faith and for her boldness and talking about it. She would stand on her front porch and shout, "Praise the Lord!"
Next door to her lived an atheist who would get so angry at her proclamations he would shout, "There ain't no Lord!!"
Hard times set in on the elderly lady and she prayed for God to send her some assistance. She stood on her porch and shouted, "Praise the Lord!! God, I need FOOD!! I am having a hard time. Please, Lord, send me some groceries!!"
The next morning, the lady went out on her porch and saw a large bag of groceries and shouted, "Praise the Lord!!"
The neighbor jumped from behind a bush and said, "Ha Ha!! I told you there was no Lord. I bought those groceries. God didn't."
The lady started jumping up and down and clapping her hands and saying, "PRAISE THE LORD!!! He not only sent me groceries, but He made the devil pay for them!!"

Time heals all wounds. Well, at least, most of them.
Bitterness is a disease that will consume a person if forgiveness is not found in your heart. Many times it is every hard, because people, in general, are cruel by nature. The self-centered life's we lead often cause us to be cruel to others and bitterness is hard to overcome.
Most people will not admit that they are self-centered, but surely we all are. And how one handles that self-centered nature will make us or break us. To truly hate someone, first, one must hate their self. Hate and bitterness are the most self destructive forces that exist.
The answer is faith. And prayer. And never forget that you are a good person and that you have no time, no desire, and no need to be bitter.

Prayer, not that it's easy, but if you pray to understand the person, situation, or whatever is causing the bitterness it helps to see an end to it.

Ask the LORD for deliverance . .
Keep on praying ,, keep on asking ..
don't stop till you're liberated..
I have to be honest ,, it's like a poison
and you're drinking it.. and that will stop you
from receiving your anointing..
Keep on asking the LORD to deliver you
completely.. and He will..

By faith, repentance, and looking unto Jesus.
"Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart."
Hebrews 12:3

Decrease your self. Drop your pride. God hates this rebellious nature.
