Bitterness....

I hold a lot of bitterness in my daily life. I am trying to rid of it. I am currently reading "Where there is Love, There is God" - another Mother Teresa book. I highly recommend this book. It is such a feel good book, that really helps to reflect on my daily life. It's true - we hold so much bitterness in our hearts and therefor it doesn't leave room to love. To love one another, to do good to one and other. I want to rid my heart of all the bitterness and of all the awful things I do.

There is currently some family things going on and instead of being compassionate towards the situation or trying to understand some of the choices the family has made, I find myself having a negative attitude towards the decisions made. There are many things in this situation that drive me bananas! But I need to some how rid them. This is not fair to the family, to myself, or to Jesus. This is also a form of judgement. Judging the way things are done. I try so hard in my daily life not to judge strangers, and here I am judging in my own family. Not Cool. I sinned today and from today on I am going to try not to judge, or carry on in any kind of bitterness. Because having bitterness in my heart leaves no room for love and kindness.
