Bitterness

 Bitterness: when we harbor ill feelings towards another for something they did to us, or something they have that we wish we did. So basically it's holding a grudge or being envious of another which causes us to treat them poorly.

 Bitterness goes against everything we are called to be as followers of Christ. Christ calls us to forgive others and to love them unconditionally. It breaks my heart to see other Christians being bitter and treating their friends in a way that is hurtful.

 I just want to encourage everyone to forgive and forget, and to let go of any grudges, to stop being bitter towards your brothers and sisters in Christ just because they may have something that you do not. Treat everyone with love and respect. Do not let your personal issues get in the way of your relationships with those you love, and who love you. Love one another, as Christ loved us.
