The roots of bitterness

"We cannot prevent the birds from flying over our heads, but we can prevent them from nesting in it"

Tomorrow of any given day, heading: work. I must say that to get to work I need to take 3 different buses. And I was precisely there when a bus arrived and the driver got out. I tried to be as polite as possible when I said: -Good morning, please, are you going to the Capri?

And that's when, without me expecting it, they threw me at my face, almost in a roar accompanied by a look of hatred - Yes, why?

I was paralyzed - For nothing. It was the only answer that left my lips.

I leaned to the side and I must confess, for the first time I felt sorry for a person who mistreated me. At that moment, the question only crossed my mind of what would be the reasons that this man had for being so disgusted with life, that he treated someone in that way who had almost caressed him when addressing him. How many frustrations could there be in that life, how much bitterness, pain, rejection perhaps? Problems in his family, in his marriage, in his relationship with his children, with his coworkers, in short, even his childhood could have been a disaster. What is there in your life that triggers this behavior?

Of course I didn't know anything about that, but what I did know, I was more than sure, was what he didn't have in his heart. God was not there. What was there did not allow the spirit of God to penetrate to clean and dispose of all the accumulated garbage.

I prayed, I asked our God to take charge of cleaning that heart that was roaring outside, but that maybe inside was raining tears.

We are not surprised by such people. There are many masks on the street. It is your turn to pray that those masks are changed into a complexion smoothed by the word of God.

Can't you change a life? Put it in the hands of the one who can do it, for Him there is nothing impossible. Pray and trust.
