A sobering text:
"Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord. See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many." - Hebrews 12:14-15

Some quick thoughts:

Bitterness and falling short of God's grace go hand in hand.
Further, bitterness breeds more bitterness. It spreads like gangrene, causes trouble, and leads to the defilement of many.
