Releasing Bitterness

Here’s the truth: holding a grudge only hurts the person holding it. Bitterness is a heavy burden, robbing the heart of peace and joy. As believers, we’re called to release those burdens—both our own grudges and those held against us—so we can walk in freedom.

Paul reminds us in Ephesians 4:31-32 to let go of “all bitterness, rage, and anger” and instead to “forgive each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” True freedom comes in releasing and forgiving, not holding onto bitterness.
