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.
