About two weeks ago, I re-watched Gnomeo and Juliet. There was one gnome called Tybalt. He was a very bitter gnome and wanted to always have the last say, even if that meant hurting others around him. Close to the end of the movie, he was so angry that he broke off the hat of a gnome whom he didn't like, even though that gnome had done nothing to him. Carrying on with his anger, he used a lawn mower to race against another gnome whom he didn't like. He was so caught up with winning the race by literally braking Gnomeo that he would not listen to the advice of anyone. Instead of listening to the sincere advice of Gnomeo to watch out, he didn't listen and kept driving the mower of bitterness. He crashed himself straight into a brick wall. Bitterness can only lead to brokenness if not repaired. Though at the end of the movie Tybalt was glued back together, he never looked the same and kept loosing parts of himself because he was never fully repaired. He just fixed himself enough so he could look real, when really he was still a broken mess in need of being carefully fixed and healed. God is a God of grace. He is our Helper in times of trouble. If we allow Him, He will mend us back together to make us new.
So remember, the road of bitterness or the road of being repaired is your choice. And remember that whatever choice you pick, you will make a difference and affect others. What is your choice going to be?
