Enjoying Everyday Life shares this message by Joyce Meyer titled “Burnt But Not Bitter: Part 2.”
Pastor Joyce continued with the teaching about being burned and not bitter. We can go through hard times and still have good character towards other people. If you don’t feel any different, don’t let the devil deceive you into thinking that you did not forgive; how you feel has nothing to do with it. You just start living free of anger and offense and see what God does for you. You know why he’ll honor you because he knows it’s hard, but if you wait on him to be your vindicator, people will never get by with hurting you. God will always bring it back around and reward you, but only if we do it his way. Actually, there’s a scripture in Hebrews 12:15 that says, “Help one another secure grace so that you do not get bitter when you’re hurt or mistreated, burned but not bitter.” So he’s actually saying here that it’s our job as Brothers and Sisters in Christ to kind of watch over one another in this area, and we need to be wise enough with our friends and the people that we’re around instead of when you’re having coffee with somebody and they’re telling you this long tail about what somebody did to them and how upset they are, try to talk them out of it, try to help them understand that it’s a waste of time.
A waste of God’s time is a waste of their time, and it is not in any way, shape, or form going to solve their problem. Otherwise, you know what happens: what they tell you gets inside of you, and now all of a sudden you don’t like this person that didn’t even do anything to you. We have to have a sweet attitude in order to get through life. Life will not be easy, but with the right attitude, we can enjoy our everyday lives. We have to live the life that Jesus has made available for us through his blood, and going around with bitterness in our lives will prevent that great life.
