Have you ever eaten fruit that wasn’t good?  It didn’t agree =
with your digestive system right?  And the next time you have fruit, y=
ou are more careful – examining to see if its right and not rotten.  B=
itterness and resentment belongs in the realm of spiritual bad fruit. =
We still get pulled towards these feelings because we are flesh and blood,=
but remember, we are much more than that in Christ.  God saved us, an=
d in so doing started to work on our nature to change it.  The text ab=
ove speaks of the behavioral fruit that comes from those who don’t know God=
.  If you know the Lord, and regularly conduct yourselves like the tex=
t above, then re-evaluate your walk with Jesus.  When Jesus dwells in =
us, our lives are to bear something different.  Want to know what that=
is?  Click here, and read the ne=
xt verses…

 Father, thank You for the mercy You’ve graciously shown me. Please give=
me the ability to forgive those who have wronged me. I want to be complete=
ly free from bitterness and its devastating consequences. In Jesus’ name I =
pray,   AMEN
