Do not be entangled into the bitter roots. bv.
Bitterness like a root can grow in people for years, and keep on growing. It takes supernatural intervention to pull and cut them out, " The holy spirit is like that, the word cuts asunder between the soul, and the spirit. I believe the emotions are the soul, the things that happen in life affects the spirit." This is the power of the HOly Spirit.
Strife is one way to get entangled, in someone's bitterness. Your own un forgiveness, is another way, and offenses, hurts, everything sours, when your bitter, not sweet.
