There are 4 destructive emotions that control mankind:
Brick 1: Guilt (self-directed bitterness)
Brick 2: Anger (others-directed bitterness)
Brick 3: Greed (world-directed bitterness)
Brick 4: Jealousy (God-directed bitterness)
Any harboring of bitterness toward self, others, the world, or God erects layers over the roots, and a barrier around the tree, which delays the recovery process. If the barrier is thick, it takes longer to break them down before digging up the roots.
Peace with God is broken with jealousy but is restored through thanksgiving.
Peace with others is broken with anger but is restored through forgiveness.
Peace with the self is broken with guilt but is restored through confession.
Peace with creation is broken with greed but is restored through generosity.
Do you walk around with a heart full of debts? Cancel those debts and walk in Freedom!
