Bitterness and Resentment (“Weak Links” Week 2)

Bitter people are like porcupines: there are a lot of cool things about them, but they can be hard to be around, and they are certainly hard to stay close to. The interesting thing is that they may not even be wrong, per se: they can be completely justified by their story, ENTIRELY in the right… but the feelings that they carry have changed them as a person, resulting in that painfully prickly exterior. This is not how God has called us to live, and we certainly don’t mean that as an admonishment, but as an encouragement: there is more, there is better, there is fulfillment for the bitter person, and today we want to explore God’s promises around what happens when we trust Him enough to let go.
