We all go through severe pain, grief, and even do things we regret. This is a fact. However, we don’t need to hold on to these things forever. Allowing them to remain in your life allows the root of bitterness to grow and take hold of your heart.
The answer to letting it all go? Give God praise at all times! When you praise God, why do you do it? Is it because you’re showing Him your appreciation for something He made work out for you? Or maybe you just do it on Sundays and even then it’s because the person next to you is doing it and you don’t want to look out of place?
God is more concerned with the posture of your heart than the posture of your body. What if I told you the reason why we praise God isn’t because of anything He has done or we pray He will do. Praise is to be your response to Him just for being who He is. He is your Creator, Healer, Comforter, Redeemer, Shelter, Protector, and the genuine Lover of your soul.
So what is He not? He is one in all and all in one. He is the beginning and the end. When you choose to make forgiveness a way of life, letting go of bitterness, your heart will not even allow any bitter roots to form and damage the posture of your heart.
Praise God today no matter what you are facing or enduring. Praise Him because He is God and the only one who can help you through to the other side. What is stopping you from letting go of any bitterness in your heart and giving in to true, authentic worship and praise of your God?
