Bitterness is a choice we make. No one can force another person to be bitter. a bitter person thinks that they can be bitter in just one area of there life but that bitterness will affect and interupt every area of that persons life. Bitterness cannot be contained because it is a flaw in a persons attitude, character, and spiritual life.

A bitter person emotionally builds a wall between themself and the person they are bitter against, and slowly but surely that wall becomes stronger and stronger as they try to protect themselves emotionally.
The problem with this is with building this wall they will construct this wall and shut every one else out also, and eventually they will shut God out of their lives, Oh you say it can’t be that bad I am only mad at one or two people, when is the last time you had an alone time with God, when was the last time you really got in Gods word and read it to let God speak to you? When was the last time you actually felt the presence of God move when you prayed to him. See God is being shut out and you don’t even realize it. Bitter people end up shutting people that really care for them out, and wont listen to them either even though they love them so much the bitter person at it’s end will not feel that love from God or any one else becausse of an incident that happened a long time ago. Bitter people don’t have the love of God flowing back and fourth through them, it is a horrible state to be in they often feel lonely even with those they love, they are often deppressed beause of the lack of godly love flowing through them. A bitter person should repent and ask God to forgive them and ask the Holy Spirit to love through them again God is the only way back from a bitter heart,The love of God flows through a godly person but bitterness blocks that love from flowing through the bitter person, and that will rob them of the joy of the Lord also the bitter person may want to make changes in their life to get rid of the bitterness or what they feel they buy new cars or buy new cloths they try every thing but nothing will work until the ask for forgivness from God and get right with him that is the only way back to the right side of the Lord, you can tell a bitter person by the way they talk the bible says “out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh” You can tell by the conversation if a person is bitter, have you listened to yourself lately. Do you have bitterness you need to get rid of why don’t you let God right now forgive you and you will feel the burden of that lifted off your shoulders today. I Hope this helps some one. God Bless each of you.

In one case in particular I helped a family, the wife divorced her husband and married another man, and the child which was a young boy about 10 years old he was having problems with the stepfather (Never a good situation for a child) , the stepfather asked if there was any thing I could do and we made an appointment and after about 3 meetings (about 45min to an hour each time) they were happy living and connecting with one another and getting to know one another. I had the mother bring the boy and I talked with her also she had issues she had to deal with also, in the end every thing was worked out.

That is just one of many stories, every thing is confidential this family I just described has moved  out of the state I live in and I would never tell any one who it was, every subject we talk about is always Confidential any thing we talk about will always be in strict confidence my wife knows not to even ask about what I talked about, so If you need to work on an area in your life email me at hrlw_grnt@yahoo.com and we can go from there. God Bless

He showed Jeremiah a practical lesson on how he treats his own. The potter was making a piece of pottery when something happened it was marred in the potters hands we don’t know what happened but we do know it was marred, but what happens next is the lesson, the potter took the same piece of clay and reshaped it into a fine piece of pottery. That is what the Lord does with us at times we get marred we get out of Gods will we get for countless number of reasons marred and unusable for the potter, but He will not discard He will not throw us in the trash bin on the contrary he will use us He will reshape us into what he would have us to be.

There are some things we have to do to be reshaped we have to allow him to reshape us we can’t be rebellious and expect him to do with us what we want to do, we have to be willing to do what He would have us to do. I have learned that a lot of times we let others shape us into what they would have us to be instead of letting God shape us into what He would have us to be, being influenced by others not exactly peer pressure but following others to there will instead of Gods will is almost or is disobeying God. When God leads we should follow his sheep hear his voice and they obey him,  but some times we listen to the wrong voice and wrong influence of others and those others might be a spiritual person wanting to do right but they are not God You have the same Holy Spirit that every child of God has listen to the Great Shepherds Voice. Listen to those who will steer you in the direction of the will of God not in the direction of there will.

When we stray one thing is for sure God will use us again, He will not throw us in the trash, I have met people that will say “You just don’t know what I have done” listen there is nothing God will not do to bring you back into his will and he will use you again, you may have strayed far from the flock of God but the prodigal son come to his senses and came back to the father some time we have to come to our senses and come back. Some time we have to stop and listen to the still small voice that is in each of us we need to listen to the Spirit of God.

You may be away from God right now and know your away that is a very dangerous place to be openly disobeying God and his will for your life. Get back into the fellowship of other Christians and have them pray for you and with you that you will find Gods will again for your life. Let him reshape you into something fit for the masters use. God Loves You personally regardless of what you may think He loves you enough he sent his son Jesus to die in your place and all your sins were nailed to that cross when he paid your sin debt. He will take that clump of clay that you are and reshape you into something beautiful something with purpose something that will bring him glory. Go back to God would you?

God Loves You and he wants to reshape you.

God Bless
