Bitterness will only lead to pain. Give it over to God and trust Him.

"Bitterness will only lead to pain. Give it over to God and trust Him." (Paula White)

I feel bitterness toward a relative who I feel has been ungrateful. I am going to squash it, let it go. And, most importantly, give the situation over to God. I don't have to give that person over to God because, we are all in God's hands. What I need to do is give my feelings and this situation over to God. And, most, most, most importantly, trust that God has already worked it out. The bitterness is lifting from my spirit as we speak.

This whole situation makes me think of a song by the LA Mass Choir "That's When You Bless Me." The lyrics truly to touch me to the core of my spirit. What's also special about this song is that I asked the Lord to plant this song on my heart so that I could learn to play it. And HE blessed me with the ability to play this song over 25 years ago. And I can still play it to this day. God is good!!!!

That's When You Bless Me (L.A. Mass Choir)

My life was torn beyond repair
I felt so alone, seemed no one cared
You came along, gave me a song
To ease the pain and erase the strain

(Bridge)
You could have left me standing there
With no one, no one to care
But You promised me You'd be there on time
And You did just what You said

(Female solo)
Against all odds, I made the choice
To give You my life, now I rejoice
You answered my prayers not a moment to soon
Your word I embraced, my sins You erased

Repeat Bridge

(Chorus)
(I gave it up) That's when You bless me
(Oh I let it go) That's when You bless me
(Lord, You brought me through, now I'm brand new)
Yes

(I said have Your way) That's when You bless me
(Oh I'm here to stay) That's when You bless me
(Lord, You promised me You would hear my plea)
And You did just what You said.

(Female solo)
Against all odds, I made the choice
To give You my trust, now I rejoice
You answered my prayers not a moment to soon
Your word I embraced, my sins You erased

(Repeat Bridge)

(Chorus w/ solo adlibs)

(Vamp)
And You did just what You said....
And You did just what You said....

AMEN
