Bitterness

The Root of Bitterness

The longer you allow the root of bitterness to grow in the soil of your heart, the more love it will devour.

(Kent Crockett, I Once Was Blind But Now I Squint, Chattanooga, TN: AMG Publishers, 2004, 94)



It Starts By Being Offended

Every bitter person had his or her start through being offended by someone.

(Kent Crockett, I Once Was Blind But Now I Squint, Chattanooga, TN: AMG Publishers, 2004, 100)



The Cost of Bitterness

"We cannot live with bitterness because it will first manifest itself in our spirit, then in our emotions, and finally in our bodies." --Tom Drout


Unhealed Wounds

Bitterness is the offspring of an unhealed wound—whose parents are unforgiveness and time.

(Kent Crockett, I Once Was Blind But Now I Squint, Chattanooga, TN: AMG Publishers, 2004, 94)
