I Samuel 30:6 And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God.
Bitterness is a common fact of life
Admit its presence
Be willing to do something about it
Deal with grudges directly
Realize that some hurts that come from others stem from deep hurt they have of their own
Get rid of bitterness by having a forgiving heart
Never say “never”…allow God to change you and grant to you the spirit of forgiveness
Know that you don’t deserve the love and forgiveness of God, yet because you have experienced it from Him, you realize to be a Christian you must show forth that same likeness. To be in His likeness takes much effort.
Receive His grace, then go graciously give the same to others
Encourage yourself in the Lord! Be thankful. Bless His name. For His presence is GOOD!
Keep Calm, Carry on!

Four Hundred and ninety times a day is what the Lord said we should do when it comes to choosing to forgive. The result is every second of your life, everytime that second-hand ticks on the clock, you’ve got to choose to control your base nature and let it be ruled by God.
Lord, I have such a LONG way to go right now, don’t I? Help me. Help me, Lord. For without You I can do nothing. Help me to realize that real living is about choosing to keep my mind pure and reverant on You. You at all times. For it’s only in thinking on you through my hurt that I can cope in a positive manner. It’s only through You that I can be encouraged that I may forgive.
