Black and cold, bitterness denies easy escape. The sides are slippery with resentment. A floor of muddy anger stills the feet. The stench of betrayal fills the air and stings the eyes. A cloud of self-pity blocks the view of the tiny exit above.
Step in and look at the prisoners. Victims are chained to the walls. Victims of betrayal. Victims of abuse. Victims of the world. They lift their chains as they lift their voices and wail. Loud and long they wail. They sulk. The word is against them... You can choose, like many, to chain yourself to your hurt. Or you can choose like some, to put away your hurts before they become hates. You can choose to go to the party. You have a place there. Your name is beside a plate. If you are a child of God, no one can take away your sonship or (daughtership). Which is precisely what father said to the older son or( daughter), you are always with me, and all that I have is yours...And that is precisely what the Father says to you. How does God deal with your bitter heart? He reminds you that what you have is more important than what you don't have. You still have your relationship with God and no one can take that. No one can touch it.
Because of God's grace we go from being people whose throats are like open graves ( Psalm 5:9 ) to being participants of God's glory. We were washed up and put out; now we are called up and put in.
