Bitterness chokes the flow of love between yourself and God, and too often the ones closest to us.

Bitterness is a quiet thief. It creeps in like a vine, wrapping around the heart until the life of God is no longer free to move within us. What begins as a justified hurt can grow into a root that poisons not only ourselves but also those around us.

Scripture warns us:
“But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth. This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic. For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there.”
(James 3:14-16)

Bitterness does not protect us, it imprisons us. It clogs the channel where God’s Spirit longs to pour rivers of living water.

Forgiveness is not about excusing what was wrong, but about releasing what is choking us. To forgive is to open the hand, to unclench the heart, and to let God’s grace flow freely again. Where bitterness strangles, grace breathes. Where unforgiveness closes, love opens.

Let us choose release. Let us choose freedom. And may we discover that in surrender, the flow of God rushes back like a river, cleansing and renewing our souls.

Letting Go Is Not Losing

One of the hardest truths to accept is this:
Loving someone doesn’t always mean you’re meant to stay.

Many remain stuck in painful relationships,
clinging to the hope of who someone could be,
rather than seeing them for who they are.
They feel the weight of the connection, the drain of something no longer mutual, yet still, they wait, hoping that love will be enough to spark change.

But here’s the truth, change cannot be forced,
and love cannot be begged for.
If someone won’t meet you halfway, won’t grow, won’t honour your heart, your love alone cannot bridge the distance.

You can pour everything into someone,
but if they won’t do the same, you’ll end up empty, drained, diminished, losing parts of yourself just to keep something alive that’s already fading.

The strongest thing you can do isn’t holding on,
it’s knowing when to let go.
If joy is drowned by sorrow, clarity by confusion, it’s okay to admit: this bond no longer serves you.

The more you force it, the more you’ll bleed.
Choosing peace over chaos, healing over history, that’s not weakness. That’s courage.

At the end of the day, your happiness is yours to protect.
No one holds that power unless you hand it to them.

You are not powerless.
You are the keeper of your peace,
the guardian of your worth,
the author of your healing.

So hear this..
When respect is no longer on the table,
walk away.

You were never meant to be tolerated.
You were meant to be loved fully, freely, and without conditions.

Confusing intensity with connection is a pattern I come across so much in my practice. It’s one of the most common blind spots for anxiously attached people.

And this is what it looks like:
• “We talked all night the first time we met.”
• “They’re hot and cold, and it makes me want them more.”
• “We fight all the time, but the makeup is intense.”
• “They don’t open up much, but when they do, it feels magical.”
• “When they share things it feels like I’m chosen.”
• “I feel butterflies when they text me back… after hours of silence.”

Can you relate? 🙌🏼

You and I have met before—
not in memory, but in matter.
In the hush between stars,
where particles touched
and chose never to part.

We were scattered across time,
worn into breath and skin,
but the bond remained—
a silent thread beneath awareness.

So when our eyes meet,
when presence feels familiar,
know this:
it’s not just soul or story—
it’s the universe remembering itself
through you and me.
