Spoken so honestly, painful and reflective. I too have that companion of bitterness hovering over my life needing to surrender it again to the only identify I need as His daughter, and place at the foot of His cross this hinder acne and trust Him.
Thank you for sharing Shane, my brother in Christ❤️🩹
This is exactly what I am struggling with right now. My bitterness is centered on fellow Christians who voted for a man who I consider pure evil for president. I feel betrayed because I could not fathom that people who I cared about would compromise their Christian standards to elect an evil man for the highest office in the U.S. I cannot reconcile in any fashion how a believer in Christ could justify such a decision. I am disappointed in this man but very angry toward my fellow believers. I feel very isolated and unable to find relief. I cannot confront them because it would cause major damage to a church family I love. I have prayed for relief but I am reminded daily by the man who is already causing chaos in the lives of thousands of people lives who do not deserve it. I know what God can do for me and I start to yield to forgiveness and then take 2 steps back. I have never felt this conflicted in my entire christian walk. I know God will have the last say in all of this but I feel I have lost touch with my church family. Please pray that I will obtain the grace needed to go on.
I am, indeed, praying for the grace in your life right now, dear friend. Fight the lies of the enemy that "you are alone" with his grace, with his touch, and with knowing that, like Elijah, God is with you even at the level of a whisper.

Spoken so beautifully, my friend. I needed to be reminded of the simple and profound truth that, indeed, I am His son. Thanks for this :)
