Habakkuk 2:3 For the revelation awaits an appointed time; it speaks of the end and will not prove false. Though it linger, wait for it, it will certainly come and will not delay.

One morning while scrolling through my instagram feed, I came across an ex friend of mine page and saw that they were engaged to be married. I immediately screenshot it and sent it to my friends. I was NOT happy for this person. I was a great friend to them(and my friends can attest to this, if I call you friend I am down with and loyal to you until the end). Not only were they not there for me when I was going through a very hard time in my life, they told blatant lies and spread false rumors about me. I guess I shouldn’t feel special because they’d done it to other people. This person had spent so much time and energy tearing other people down that I did not think they deserved to be happy. I even looked up and said to God, hey did you forget about me down here(the nerve lol). But I had to check myself and say Charlie, trust the timing of your life! God had another message for me though. I went back on to instagram and I came across a post that said, “You can’t be bitter and blessed”. And it’s so true, you can’t be both! It’s either or. While doing some research on the topic bitterness, I came across an article and the author said “Bitterness is that state of mind which willfully holds on to angry feelings, ready to take offense, able to break out in anger at any moment.” That type of attitude and mindset is not only toxic but it’s detrimental to our growth and spiritual health. So I wanted to share this with you guys. It’s okay to feel hurt and angry when you are wronged but don’t harbor those feelings. Don’t be so bitter that you block your own blessings. What God has for you is for you!!! It may seem like our enemies are prospering or their lives are better than ours or they’re not receiving their karma but we have to put our faith and trust in God that he will take care of it. His timing is perfect! Also, remember that just as we are growing and evolving, so can other people. So who’s to say that this individual hasn’t grown or isn’t growing. I am not the same person I was 3/4 years ago. I’m not even the same person I was a minute ago because I’m constantly learning, growing and evolving and that may be true for this individual as well. So please pray for me, I am a growth in progress but I’m growing and glowing!

Have a blessed Monday 💋
