Don't Make Life Taste Bad

11/3/2015

 
​Several years ago, I took a “hankering” for biscuits.  So I pulled out my mom’s biscuit recipe and went to work.  I was all excited about having fresh biscuits that night with our meal.  Chrissy took one bite and said, “They don’t taste right”.  My excitement over having mom’s homemade biscuits almost made me look past the fact that even I had to admit, they were awful.  It turns out the flour was spoiled and I hadn’t really checked it before I put it in the bowl.  We had to throw out all those biscuits.

I’ve been reflecting on a verse we read on Sunday.  Hebrews 12:15.  “Let no root of bitterness get settled in your soul and therefore defile you.”  That word defile can mean to spoil.  When you’re bitter about something, or someone, it gets into you.  It makes life taste bad.  That’s not how God wants us to live.  Are you bitter about something?  Bitterness is what happens when we let un-forgiveness stick around.  It hurts us and will keep us from living the full life Christ has for us.  Thankfully, God doesn’t throw us out though when we’re “spoiled”.  He can take our bitterness.  If it has taken root, it might take some time.  It will take prayer.  It will take intentionality.  But you must address it.  Life is too short.

I think we should forget about past, about bad thing and bad people happend to us. We should live the past behind but don`t forget lessons it gave you.
