14 Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord. 15 See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many. (Heb 12)
The question needs to be... Do I make every effort to promote peace and sense of holiness around me. Am I quick to jump on the band wagon of politics and criticism? Do I turn the "other cheek" when I'm wrongly accused? For a bitter heart spreads like gangrene through all aspects of our lives. Peace and holiness cannot coexist within a bitter heart. And you wonder why some people have trouble sleeping yet are angry with the world!
For to live in bitterness is to condone the very thing that got Christ crucified!
Amen
