when my mom died my dad got depressed so i left for the marines and left my little sister behind when i came back my sister was bitter towards me and i was the same towards my father but this song made me come to forgive my father and my sister has forgiven me... God is amazing... thank you lord...
Glory be to God. Been listening to you albums since Heroes For sale and honestly helped me through my walk with Christ. I forgive. I just pray I’m able to understand I’m forgiven. TGBTG 🙏🏿💜🙏🏿
I don't care what other people say, bitterness does destroy. It's like a disease that eats and destroys everything in its past, and the funny thing is is that we have the power of getting rid of the disease, but so many of us choose to live with it and let it continue to spread and destroy. Letting go and forgiving is the only cure and, man, does it feel great. Its like a weight being taken off your chest. God is so great, he is the best example of forgiveness. He's my role model.
I love how all of the members of the One One Six Clique are so open about their problems, it takes courage to do that so openly to many people they don't know. Praise God
So bitter towards my dad he’s never really shown he’s cared for me but for my siblings he does, God chose me to walk this life and now my mother is distant from me. They all loved me and stayed in contact when i was doing things the world way and now it’s like whatever talk to you later and bye. But my dad it’s always been this way. Pray for me I need God to remove the roots of bitterness and I’ve expressed to him how I feel and it fell on deaf ears
My biological father never wanted me. He asked my mom to get an abortion. I never felt loved or like I belonged most of my life. It led me down a destructive path and when I turned 21 I made my last attempt at suicide. I was in the hospital for 2 weeks and I damaged my heart. The cardiologist told me my heart would never be the same. Today I thank God for sparing my life. I was so hopeless but he restored me. Every thing I went through humbled me and now I look at life differently. It truly breaks my heart seeing so many precious lives broken because healing is possible. It's work but it is possible. Please keep me in prayer 💛
God bless you. I pray for your heart, may it continue to be strong and beautiful. Let the lord keep you in check and let the lord keep you soaring. I pray you continually realize your worth, that your eyes are awakened with the beauty of the world, the enemy is defeated. Let bitterness and depression leave in Jesus name. Amen
Growing up in a single parent home (Father abandoned me), this song hits hard. I'm not bitter anymore. Jesus is the father to the fatherless! I have forgiven my dad. Thank You Jesus for being the dad I always needed!
That voicemail really gets to me - so personal and open to us all; quite admirable. Andy Mineo has been a fave for a while, but he's truly come a long way. I love this reworked version of Bitter.
Everybody has "justifiable resentment and unforgiveness", but it's so good just to let go of it because it just poisons. Reading scripture and praying to the Lord heals those wounds. My dad was an alcoholic,druggy and he abused my mum physically and emotionally but today I'm free from hating on my dad, I just pray for him and he's getting better.
I love the way song starts out with maybe Andy's dad talking and then going into the song and explaining how we are bitter to people and then saying how we shouldn't be bitter to people and that its a choice that we can choose in life. Overall awesome and great track:)
Man did I need to hear this song! Love it! It's crazy cuz an evangelist at church a couple weeks ago preached a MSG titled "From bitter to better". I don't wanna be bitter & I must forgive if Jesus can forgive the ppl who crucified him. I haven't nearly gone through anything like that even though the hurt is something serious! Gotta forgive if I wanna be forgiven. Keep reaching ppl for the kingdom Andy!!!
This song ministered to me. Since I was a little girl, living in a fatherless home (divorce parents) I have bitter feelings towed him. Just listening to this song reminded me of how if I don't accept the fact what happen I'm the past and not move forward (forgiveness) then that is not of God becauSe he is of love and grace. But it's so hard dealing and carrying on this burden on for years. Lord "I don't want to be..." Please release this off my heart...
Touching song. Andy says its easy for him to ignore his Dad. His dad still calls him C-Lite, the recorded phone (voicemail, I think) is deep. Praying for you Andy, that your fam is built back up, praying that the Lord also helps me with the bitterness within me too. Thanx for another great hit Andy!!
this song is amazing and truth be told it isn't as easy as asking God to take away bitterness, because when you ask Him to do this for you, He won't just take it away, but will present you with the opportunity to forgive the person or persons that hurt you
c'mon people! if they dislike it they dislike it. Trust me I'm not IN LOVE with every song Lecrae puts out. Let them like what they like. BUT this one, this is IT! hard work paying off with this upcoming album.
Nah dude, the true sign of success is hearing God speak and obeying, But even still, much love to you and all the brothers and sisters! Keep working for the kingdom sir. The Lord is revealing who he is in these last days. I am joyful to see others whose eyes he has opened
my father died before I could make peace with him so if you have a father your beefin with or your a father beefin with ya child drop it cause it's not worth the feeling of guilt you get by hating them and one day there gone and you don't have that chance love your children more then life itself but less then you love god!!!!!
Im 26 struggling to forgive my father. I found this song a and just r long time ago but recently I listened to it on spotify two days ago. Pray for the ministry of reconciliation to be done in my house hold and that my father would get saved. I love you , thank you.
Pamela Pacas thank you. I'm still struggling. Encouragement had been finding it way to me somehow from God speaking to my friends. They speak that to me. Thank you kindly once again.
This song helped me through a time in my life where I was bitter, me and my girlfriend broke up in May of last year, i posted stuff about positivity and relationships to indirectly throw shade at her. Then I heard this song in September and I confessed my bitterness to her on the first day of 2019, she said she forgived me and now we’re en route to being together again. Thank God and Andy Mineo! 🙏🏻
When you've truly accepted Christ in your life and are filled with the holy spirit you should never be bitter,which is one of the beauty's Christ brings when you accept him
okcflyboy is right, especially about where your focus should be. to always remember the pain is like always picking the scab. And another way to not be bitter is face the situation. Go to your dad and say this is how you made me feel but i'm choosing to forgive you because its the right thing to do and because God wants me to. And the process will take time so be patient and trust in God and most importantly Pray about it 24/7 until the relationship is restored, because prayer is powerful :)
Man, this song hits home! It's true, bitterness is a choice! I had to learn to forgive, and with God's help I got rid of some bitterness I had! God taught me that our joy should come from him and not other people! I LOVE this song! Andy, this song is truly a blessing!
I am Thankful for the transparency in this track...when I heard this I repented and asked God to remove all the bitterness from hurt from my family,church and ex...I thank God for his messengers that can help in their testimonies
wow i just realized how profound your statement is hahah and I've heard it before but actually took the time to examine what you said and put it in the context of my life.
The best advice I can remember is not to focus on the hate but the love of Christ. With all that we've been guilty of doing to him through our sinful nature he really had no obligation to forgive us. But because of the love he has he not only forgave us but stands ready to give us the riches of kingdom. When I think about it in that light it only seems logical for me to forgive people. Not only because it's the right thing to do but because I know I'm gonna need God to forgive eventually.
I was told there was something in my life I couldn't control. That made me so bitter. It made me to hateful towards everything because it was like there was no hope but when I realized that it is a choice, that I can subdue it, it gives me hope. But robbing myself of freedom with the lie that says every thought is my own and reflection of one moment of hurt. Is that true? I guess I want to believe that it's a choice again and that Jesus allows me to conquer sin. Because any other doctrine leaves me hopeless.
there are some things that we can't choose to be free from on our own. Some of us are born with low self esteem, or born with a struggle of lusting too much. but Jesus is a god of the impossible, meaning with him, you can choose the impossible. you can choose to completely let God guide you to where you need to be, despite how "impossible" it is
Coming from a home where my parents both split as well, I can relate. I held a cold heart towards both of them for a long time, simply because it was the easiest thing to do. But it was never satisfying. I encourage you to forgive your parents, and then ask for forgiveness from God for having a stone cold heart towards them. Sometimes we forget that just because they hurt us, doesn't mean we haven't sinned in our hearts towards them. I pray that Jesus' burden is light on you! Love you! God Bless
Rachel Ware they're only saying that as me we came here for him, as advertisement. You don't check a song if you don't like it even if your fav dancer dances it
This song serves as a constant reminder to us. God has forgiven us of our sins. We have to have that same forgiving spirit and show it towards others. Don't be bitter. Just forgive and move on! #116
My pops went to prison in 2003 I was 15 It took me 9 years to finally go see him. I got that chance , but I took for granted the fact he or I would still be there. Its hard to let stuff go, but you can't get in heaven with unforgiveness in you heart. Make peace so you can heal.
Andy, thank you for this song & the music. For being transparent & sharing your 💗 with the fans. Sometimes we just want to do the same with you is all. All love. Never stop doing your thing even with the hate, rejection, critisisim... You never know what some of the humans you are inspiring out here are going through. You could literally have saved a life out hear with these beats! God bless
Amen to that brother! Helps show us how much we need each other, how as the body of Christ we should all be functioning *together so none of us miss out on God's favor :) Love how Mineo intregrates the Scripture into his songs making them his own, awesome!
I wish this track lasted 10 minutes! Bitterness is like poison. We often drink that poison hoping it kills the other person. Forgiveness is the only way to truly understand the love of God.
This song relates to guys so well, we should always pray for that person we are bitter towards and ask The Lord for the ability to forgive. After all, he's forgiven us.
Wow, haven't had a song tug at my heart strings like this in a while, my dad's just found out he had cancer. Amazing how God speaks to u in very deep way through the music of his ppl
Listening to his songs helps me through a lot. Moments when real evil things come to mind or things people have done top me. I just think back to this song and pay to the Lord and ask him clear my mind heart and soul from ALL bitterness

It's 3 years later I hope you're still around well.
Oh my goodness... This is a killa tune. On the topic content...
Growing up in a single parent home (Father abandoned me), this song hits hard. I'm not bitter anymore. Jesus is the father to the fatherless! I have forgiven my dad. Thank You Jesus for being the dad I always needed!
Real! 🙏😊
All I can say is.... Wow!!!
My dad left when I was 14 and this song really hits home.
Man...I remember when I HATED my dad. Now thanks to God we are on much better terms. Praying that Andy is no longer bitter--glad he wrote this!
That voicemail really gets to me - so personal and open to us all; quite admirable. Andy Mineo has been a fave for a while, but he's truly come a long way. I love this reworked version of Bitter.
Whoo!
Totally relate to this song. I really don't want to bitter
Yes, sir! You did that Mr. Mineo.
Everybody has "justifiable resentment and unforgiveness", but it's so good just to let go of it because it just poisons. Reading scripture and praying to the Lord heals those wounds. My dad was an alcoholic,druggy and he abused my mum physically and emotionally but today I'm free from hating on my dad, I just pray for him and he's getting better.
this song speaks truth
Hear that tune!!
Please father be thy rescuer for this family.
I love the way song starts out with maybe Andy's dad talking and then going into the song and explaining how we are bitter to people and then saying how we shouldn't be bitter to people and that its a choice that we can choose in life. Overall awesome and great track:)

Oh father, help me in this painful moment.
I know it's been a long time but I'll pray for you too. I hope things are better
Thank you so much this reminds me of the days before I knew the Lord when I was bitter about my Dad leaving. Thanks be to Jesus for forgiveness
Preach!
👑 take it wall away!!!
It feels like Andy wrote this song with me in mind. Goodness gracious, thanks Andy.
this song really hits home for me

When you've truly accepted Christ in your life and are filled with the holy spirit you should never be bitter,which is one of the beauty's Christ brings when you accept him
There's something so real about how he shares his heart along with God's heart

This song is deep

The new production is great love it
Man, this song hits home! It's true, bitterness is a choice! I had to learn to forgive, and with God's help I got rid of some bitterness I had! God taught me that our joy should come from him and not other people! I LOVE this song! Andy, this song is truly a blessing!

Andy mineo is beast i love him and what hes doin is just a blessing to me and many others
This literally made me cry... but how can you ever truly enjoy life's highest peaks without experiencing life's deepest valleys?
wow i just realized how profound your statement is hahah and I've heard it before but actually took the time to examine what you said and put it in the context of my life.
yea...God's is good
same only andy makes me cry '
Yea this song made me feel very emotional also. Reminded me of my childhood and my non-existent relationship with my "dad."
matt wads Same. Especially "Still Bleeding"
The best advice I can remember is not to focus on the hate but the love of Christ. With all that we've been guilty of doing to him through our sinful nature he really had no obligation to forgive us.

Not only because it's the right thing to do but because I know I'm gonna need God to forgive eventually.
Man .... I came back here after so many years ..... this sermon is timeless
I've literally listened to this song like 30 times already, man even if the lyrics weren't already speaking to me, the music is just GOOD!
if I hold a grudge I don't show He's risen
Fik Shun... Great dancer, great song. Keep going.
amazing love Andy Mineo. Cant wait for this album to drop!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a good guitarist.
God bless you bruh--I have learned a lot
It's definitely a voicemail from his dad, because he mentions ignoring calls from his dad.
Love this remastered version of the original.
THIS TOUCHED MY HEART.
This song is basically my whole life, with my mum instead! Mineo speaking truth, bitterness is a choice!
+Maddie Eidmans same here with my mom though i still havent been able to forgive her but if not in this life i hope i can in the next.

I am not only here because of fik shun but because this song is deep in so many ways. Am I the only one who feels that way?
Rachel Ware they're only saying that as me we came here for him, as advertisement. You don't check a song if you don't like it even if your fav dancer dances it
Geometry Dash Thebartholomew um I like the song. What are you talking about?
finuraxreina I feel ya!

Waw can't believe this song is this old, so much memories, great value in one piece! We love you Andy❤
This song serves as a constant reminder to us. God has forgiven us of our sins. We have to have that same forgiving spirit and show it towards others. Don't be bitter. Just forgive and move on! #116
this goes hard. Bitter from his old EP was my fave Andy Mineo song and this version is even better!! Cant wait for the album!
This man has one of the best rhymes in the game now. So sick with his deliverance.
Jesus is your father in heaven..
Thank you lord for your glory to lift us up and show us the way..
Thank You God, for using Andy Mineo for Your glory... And in Your perfect time.
Amen.
Andy..you know how to speak to someone.. Thank you man..
This is so incredibly honest and raw. THIS is why I Love your music. Thanks so much
this song really hit me hard.. i've been holding a lot of grudges against people these days, but i realized that i should just keep my gaze on God. :)
I can't wait for this album to drop!
My pops went to prison in 2003 I was 15 It took me 9 years to finally go see him. I got that chance , but I took for granted the fact he or I would still be there. Its hard to let stuff go, but you can't get in heaven with unforgiveness in you heart. Make peace so you can heal.
Great song, full of power..transparency = power. Kudos Mineo, Praise God.
This is definitely better! Wow! Praise God for how He uses Andy
Andy, thank you for this song & the music. For being transparent & sharing your 💗 with the fans. Sometimes we just want to do the same with you is all. All love. Never stop doing your thing even with the hate, rejection, critisisim... You never know what some of the humans you are inspiring out here are going through. You could literally have saved a life out hear with these beats! God bless
Lord my name is terelle hobbs n i just pray that u keep me from bein bitter.....and bless the man who created this song..amen
This song is so true. It speaks to me as I'm sure it does to others. I really don't want to be bitter GOD is working through me though. 🙏
This song gives me chills every time I listen to it.
WOW!!! Very strong lyrics. Thanks for sharing and God Bless!
Fik Shun have got me to find 2 songs lol. Thanks to him for exposing these artists, bless!
anticipating buying the album....I love it...I pray God continues to prosper you as you share the gospel..
Amen to that brother! Helps show us how much we need each other, how as the body of Christ we should all be functioning *together so none of us miss out on God's favor :)
Love how Mineo intregrates the Scripture into his songs making them his own, awesome!
Man!! the production of this track is bananas!! Reach Records is stepping up big time. Praise God!
I wish this track lasted 10 minutes! Bitterness is like poison. We often drink that poison hoping it kills the other person. Forgiveness is the only way to truly understand the love of God.
This song relates to guys so well, we should always pray for that person we are bitter towards and ask The Lord for the ability to forgive. After all, he's forgiven us.
The first verse about relationships really hits hard! #Convicted
Wow, haven't had a song tug at my heart strings like this in a while, my dad's just found out he had cancer. Amazing how God speaks to u in very deep way through the music of his ppl
Those 3 people that disliked this aren't letting the Holy Spirit work in their hearts. This song is ON POINT! Glory to God!
Listening to his songs helps me through a lot. Moments when real evil things come to mind or things people have done top me. I just think back to this song and pay to the Lord and ask him clear my mind heart and soul from ALL bitterness
This song is so much to me 😍
