From Bitter To Sweet

Let me tell you about Mary who went from a bitter woman to a sweet woman in Christ!

Mary, a friend of mine had deep bitterness towards her father who was a preacher and minister of a growing church.

The people in the church wanted young Mary to act a certain way, dress a certain way and talk a certain way and her dad put pressure on her because of the church people and she eventually developed bitterness toward her dad, God and the church people.

Did YOU know that the PAIN and AGONY and BITTERNESS that you carry in your heart from unforgiveness can stay with you like a dark cloud.

When true forgiveness comes in and comes out from you, from your soul -- that dark cloud will disappear, and then you have access straight to the heart of Christ. “Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior.

Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.” Ephesians 4:31-32 (NLT)

From the day I met Mary in the street to today she is healed and restored with her children and has an apartment. Sometimes it takes time to get people in the hard streets of San Antonio Texas to talk and open up. I pray God gives me favor with people I meet and I can introduce them to Jesus and His saving power.
