broken. not bitter.

"He heals the brokenhearted
and binds up their wounds."
Psalm 47:3

again, at church yesterday.
this thought was shared...

God promises that He will heal broken hearts.
but He does not promise to heal bitter hearts.

we have to make sure our hearts stay BROKEN and not bitter.

ooooo....it is easy for my heart to move from broken to bitter. it just seems to slide there. 
it takes prayer and being intentional...CHOOSING not to be bitter, but to be broken.

Thank you for sharing this. I find that my heart is bitter too often. I don't want to be bitter. I appreciate the truth.
