Image via Wikipedia Why Poison Your Future With Pain From the Past Have you been crushed in the past by a person you trusted or been overwhelmed by loneliness after a breakup? If you're at the stage of anger, you must learn how to release the anger and bitterness out of your life, because that is the poison that will take the smile off your heart and drain the river of blessing from your soul.
Naturally, there will be stages of anger and depression after a breakup. It's part of the grieving process, which should lead to closure of the past. The healing process prepares you for the future during the stages of acceptance, hope and fulfillment.
Release the Bitterness and Grow
To release bitterness in your heart, try taking these steps:
- Admit your own mistakes.
- Confess to the Lord your God that you are living with bitterness in your heart and that it is wrong to do so.
- Seek harmony with Godly friends.
- Don't share your bitterness with others.
- Read scripture, feed on the word of God (Psalms of David is a good place to start).
- Look forward and not backward.
- Look at those who won over bitterness in the bible such as Joseph (Genesis 37-45) or David (1 Samuel 16-30).
Don't allow bitterness to rob you of the success and joy you can experience after a breakup. Truly, acceptance will eventually come and when it does you'll feel peace. With peace comes hope and hope is your motivation for tomorrow, which says, "I will live and love again."
Now that you have hope, your life has purpose. You'll begin to grow emotionally and develop more friendships. Congratulations, you are entering the stage of fulfillment, where you will find a new relationship, a new career or some other achievement. Dare to believe that.
Soon you'll find yourself at a place where old memories of failure are gone and there is no cause to recycle emotional baggage through the ears of friends. You're happy about tomorrow and everyone knows it. See, you can move on after a breakup!
