Beating Bitterness - Joel Osteen

You can’t stop life from happening to you, but you can choose how you respond. At the office, a coworker says something that offends you. It starts off as a little seed. If you let it go, nothing will come of it. But if you dwell on it, you’ll soon be holding a grudge. Now that little seed is taking root. It starts to grow and before long it will pollute other areas of your life. That’s why Hebrews 12:15 warns “that no poisonous root of  bitterness grows up to trouble you, corrupting many.”

The good news is you don’t have to live with bitter roots. Ask God to show you what’s causing you to be bitter. Maybe you need to forgive somebody, maybe you’re still sour over a dream that didn’t work out, or maybe you’re still beating yourself up over a mistake you made in the past. Be honest with yourself and say, “God, help me to get this root of bitterness out of me. I don’t want to live angry and bitter. I want my passion back. I want to love again. I want to laugh again. I want to dream again. God, help me to let it go and move forward.”

Everyday before I do anything, before I go anywhere, Joel Osteen is the first person I listen to, cos there is always a DM to me from God. May God use him more, so he can be a blessing to others.

This sermon broke me emotionally a few weeks ago. I kept so much hurt and anger inside. I hurt so much I couldn't cry but I had become bitter and miserable. That morning I listened to this the tears started flowing. Whilst at work where the source of my anger was I constantly felt the urge to cry. I let it all out for about 5mins in the washroom. From then I felt like a burden had been lifted off me and I feel so much like my old self . I have a more positive outlook on life and it had reinforced the fact that God is working things out for me. This sermon was my breakthrough. God's blessing on you Mr. Osteen
