Naming Your Goliath: Bitterness

This giant will have us mad at the whole world. It will have us blaming others for the sins of our own heart like jealousy, envy and hatred.  It will cause us to believe that everyone is against us, no one cares about us and so in turn we develop a mean and critical spirit.

Bitterness breeds negativity. It will cause us to never find good in anything.  If you’re holding on to a grudge, if you’re mad at someone, let it go. The longer you hold on to it, the more bitter your heart will become. God wants and expects us to love, be kind, be compassionate and have joy in our hearts. He does not want us walking around mad, neither does he want us blaming others for the sins of our own hearts.
