If you want to live your best life now, you must be quick to forgive. Learn to let go of the hurts and pains of the past. Do not let bitterness take root in your life.

Maybe a good fiend betrayed you and you have a good reason to be angry and bitter.
For your emotional and spiritual health, you must let that go. It does not do any good to go around hurting somebody. Nor does it make any sense to stay angry for what somebody’s already done to you. You cannot anything about the past, but you can do something about the future. You might as well forgive and start trusting God to make it up to you.

You cannot see a root, it is deep down under the ground. But you can be sure of this. A bitter root will produce bitter fruit. If we have bitterness on the inside, it is going to affect every area of our lives.
They cannot really live in victory, why they cannot get along with other people, why they cannot be happy. They do not realize it, but it is because their own hearts are poisoned. If we have bitterness on the inside, it is going to end up contamination everything that come out of us. It will contaminate our personalities and our attitudes as well as how we treat other people.
