Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of Ephesians 4:31-12 which says "Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you."

"As I got older I started to appreciate the sun light more and watching the sun set at 6 is always a little shocking. It's always darkest the first night. After a while we get used to it. Our bodies adjust and we no loner feel so tired when the sun is down.

That is a picture of bitterness. When someone offends you, and you hold onto that it's always darkest on the first night. After awhile you get used to it. Before you know it your body has adjusted to holding all that resentment and anger inside.

We have to learn how to let things go. As you go about your day today, take notice of the people and incidents you are holding onto. If there is any poison inside of you, let it go. It's not worth holding onto. The only one getting hurt is you.

I heard a sermon the other day that talked about not only forgiving the people around us, but that we should be forgiving our selves. Forgive yourself for whatever you did. Forgive yourself for getting to where you are today. Forgive yourself for the mistakes you made years ago. Stop holding onto poison. Our Father has already forgiven us for those things. It's time we let it go so that we can live a life without bounds."
