Bitter to Better: Finding Healing in Letting Go

By Archbishop Charles Agyinasare

Day 299 (26.10.2023)

Ephesians 4:31-32 (NIV) “Get rid of all bitterness, rage, and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.”

Bitterness is a heavy burden that weighs down our hearts and hinders our spiritual growth. It can consume our thoughts, poison our relationships, and hinder our connection with God. However, there is hope for healing and restoration. In today’s reading the Bible admonishes us to get rid of all bitterness, rage, and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice this is because bitterness, rage, and anger will only make our lives taste bitter. In today’s devotional, we will explore the transformative power of letting go and discover 3 practical ways to release bitterness and find healing.

1. Surrender to God’s Forgiveness:
The Bible says in Matthew 6:14-15 (NIV) “For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.” Bitterness often stems from holding onto past hurts and refusing to forgive. However, when we surrender to God’s forgiveness, we open the door to healing. Reflect on the areas in your life where you are holding onto bitterness. Pray and ask God to help you release those hurts and extend forgiveness to those who have wronged you. Remember, God’s forgiveness is the ultimate example of grace, and by forgiving others, we experience His healing and freedom.

2. Renew Your Mind with Truth:
Philippians 4:8 (NIV) “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.” Bitterness often thrives in a mind filled with negative thoughts and dwelling on past offenses. To find healing, we must renew our minds with God’s truth. Reflect on the thoughts and patterns that contribute to your bitterness. Replace negative thoughts with positive, uplifting, and God-honoring truths. Meditate on Scripture, fill your mind with praise, and focus on the goodness of God. As you shift your focus, you will experience a transformation in your heart and perspective.

3. Seek Reconciliation and Restoration:
Romans 12:18 (NIV) “If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.” Bitterness can hinder our relationships and prevent us from experiencing true reconciliation and restoration. To find healing, we must be willing to seek peace and pursue reconciliation.

Reflect on any broken relationships or unresolved conflicts in your life. Pray and ask God for wisdom and guidance on how to initiate conversations, extend forgiveness, and work towards reconciliation.

Remember, reconciliation does not always mean restoring the relationship to what it once was, but it means finding peace and closure.

Precious one, as we let go of bitterness and embrace God’s healing, we open the door to a transformed life. Surrendering to God’s forgiveness, renewing our minds with truth, and seeking reconciliation are practical ways to release bitterness and find healing.

Prayer:
Heavenly Father, may I continually choose to let go and allow You to turn any bitterness in my life into betterness so that I will experience the freedom and joy that comes from a healed heart in Jesus’ name, Amen.
