Had you thought of it that no matter how bitter the experience may be, you learn from it and eventually finl that there is a good side and a bad side. Naturally all you see in the beginning is the bad side then gradually things fall into place and you know that all along God has been working for you. At once you release your tight hold on the bitterness and let God's love flow in some of you don't believe in God so you let whatever it is'you do, believe in, take over. Just between you and the gatepost, no matter who you believe in, it always turns out to be God. God will tell you to release ugliness and substitute a divine faith in Him.
