The Beginning of Bitterness

 

Let us instantly crush the beginnings of envy, jealousy, and hate in our hearts, never allowing the day to close on a bitter feeling. The hour of evening prayer, when we bow at God's feet, should always be a time for getting right everything that may have gone wrong with us and in us during the day. Then every injury should be forgiven when we pray, “Forgive us, as we forgive.” Then every spark of envy or jealousy or anger should be quenched, and the love of Christ should be allowed to flood our hearts. We should never allow the sun to go down on our anger.
