       Now, I want to move the final wrong attitude that I am going to talk about, which is having a bitter attitude. I would have to say that I believe that at the heart of a bitter attitude is having an unforgiving attitude. People become bitter in their lives because they have a root of unforgiveness cultivated by Satan. This might be unforgiveness toward one person, or even a group of people. The offense or rejection may have been real, or it could even be perceived. And pride is definitely in the picture, because at the heart of unforgiveness is pride. Remember, Satan was full of pride when he fell, and we can also fall when we become full of pride. Satan has lead us to become unwilling to accept the offense done against us, causing us to believe we are very important. We won't forgive the wrong or perceived wrong and just move on. Why are we so important that we can't be sinned against? Are we gods ourselves? We become full of pride in this case. Is not the true offense against God himself anyway?
