Aftertaste

Bitter root.
The bible says in Hebrews 12:14-15 to make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord. See to it that no one misses the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many.

I remember the first time I had a malaria pill was 3 years back. I don’t quite remember the details but I remember that the pill leave a bitter aftertaste. Anything that I ate after the pill was the taste of the pill. It’s simply Y.U.C.K.S. I better not eat anything good after the pill cause it will be wasted.

Felt that it’s pretty much the same about life.
It’s very clearly written that we should try not to let any bitter roots grow longer than it should.
Before it can cause trouble, we better be conscious and be soften to allow God to come in else, it will slowly eat into our own lives.
The prisoner is never the other party. We become our own prisoner.
May the Lord soften hearts that are hard and hurt.
May the Lord “breaks” us that we can be broken and contrite.

Heee… Anyway, on a lighter note…
Guess what?
I decided to dig out my Jap shows that I had since 8 years back.
Caught "With Love" & "Overtime".
Both the storylines are VERY different.
But the ending has the same equation.
Love = Letting go.
Overtime still has the power to bring some tears to my eyes.
Haha!!!!!

Back to books for now...

P.S. Something that I designed for my clinic flag. *wink*
