Dr. S. I. McMillen illustrates in a chapter entitled “The High
Cost of Getting Even,” from his book, None of These Diseases, how
physical maladies including ulcers, high blood pressure, and strokes
are connected to harboring resentment and hatred toward others. He
says, “It might be written on many thousands of death certificates
that the victim died of ‘grudgitis.’” Dr. McMillen describes how
hating a person enslaves the one who hates:

The moment I start hating a man I become his slave. I cannot
enjoy my work anymore because he even controls my thoughts. My
resentments produce too many stress hormones in my body; I become
fatigued after only a few hours of work. The man I hate may be
miles from my bedroom, but more cruel than any slave driver he whips
my thoughts into such a frenzy that my inner-spring mattress becomes
a rack of torture. I really must acknowledge that I am a slave to
every man on whom I pour out my wrath.

The apostle Paul reminds us, “Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written:

“It is mine to avenge; I will repay,”[a] says the Lord. On the contrary:

‘If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
if he is thirsty, give him something to drink.
In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.’

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.”Romans 12:19-21

‘Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice.” Ephesians 4:31

Get rid of bitterness before it gets rid of you!

Think about it.

See you Sunday!
