It is interesting that while we cannot see tree’s roots, the roots are where the tree gets its life. We see the outside, the leaves, the braches and the trunk, but the roots are what feed the tree. When your roots are healthy, positive and hopeful, that is feeding you with life, strength, encouragement and hope. The problem is that if you have bitter toots, you are not being fed the right nutrients. You wonder why you don not have any energy, why you do not laugh anymore, why you do not dream like you used to, it is because those bitter roots are feeding you bitterness, self-pity and anger. That is draining all the life, the stringy, the passion and the joy out of you. They are feeding you what they are.
The good news is, you do not have to live with better toots. Ask God to show you what is causing you to be bitter. Maybe you need to forgive somebody or maybe you are still sour about a dream that did not work out or maybe you are still beating yourself up over a mistake you made. Be honest with yourself and say, God, help me to get rid of this root of bitterness. I am still anger over what happened when I was ten ear old, still sour over the person who left me. I am still grieving over my loved one whom I lost many years ago. God, I do not want to be bitter. I want to love again. I want to dream again. God, help me to let it go and move up to the next level.
That is the first step to getting rid of a bitter root. Find out what it is and ask God to help you. You cannot do it on your own. Ask Him to help you release the bitterness and the revetment. When you get those containments out, you will not only feet the weight lift off you but you will get your joy back. You will start dreaming again and you will see the new things God has in store for you.
