Sickness to Health Part 4- Releasing Bitterness

Releasing Bitterness is key in receiving healing. It can cripple your body, spirit and soul. Henry Wright, a well-known author and speaker, speaks about bitterness and it's link to disease. In his book, "A More Excellent Way," he says that it can often be the spiritual root of arthritis. I believe that it robs you of so much. Here is a poem that I wrote which describes what it can do.


I HEARD THE VOICE OF BITTERNESS TODAY

I heard the voice of bitterness today,
I have seen what it can do.
It looks at what might have been.
And it skews the view
Bitterness says, “You can’t trust anyone it will hurt too much.”
The world with all it’s possibilities says, “Come let’s have some adventures!”
Bitterness says, “What hazards and perils await me.”
The New day says, “What prospects are around each new corner!”
Bitterness says, “You can’t because you’ve been hurt before.”
The Dream says, “Why not? Go for it!
Bitterness says, “It isn’t safe.”
The Way says,”Come and taste the abundant Life!”
Bitterness is a scary thing.
It is the root of all unhappiness.
Proverbs 17:22
"A cheerful heart is good medicine,
but a crushed spirit dries up the bones."
