Here is God's redemptive plan of recovery for you today

Why God does not want to see bitter Christians
When we are faced with offence, hurt and disappointment caused by others, it can be easy to fall into a root of bitterness. But God says in His word that because of what Jesus has done, forgiveness of sins flows to us and we in turn can now forgive and be forgiven, instead of allowing bitterness to flourish.
