Summary: Have you ever seen a person that resembled someone you knew so much that you went up and greeted them as if they were that person, only to find out they were a complete stranger? Seeing that stranger brought up memories and experiences shared with someone but to our embarrassment it was a totally different someone. Bitter Root judgments and bitter expectancies are like that, only they aren't triggered by what we see but by what we feel. They cause us to treat a relationship with one person as if they were another because of old feelings, fears and judgements that come up when we interact with them. Often times bitter judgements and expectations keep us from even interacting with certain people because of judgements and expectations we have before we ever get to know them. Bitter root judgements and bitter root expectancies are the most powerful of all unseen negative forces in our lives. They cause us to "keep getting what we keep rehearsing", rather than the glorious,purposeful lives and relationships that God has in mind for us. We must breakout.
