I made a decision years ago not to let bitterness consume me. Some days, it’s hard… really hard. Some days, it’s a challenge to remember the forgiveness He pours out on me, the forgiveness I’m expected to give others. But it’s the right way, the best way, the only way.
There is a word in the Bible that I’m so glad is there. I’ve come back to it again and again over the years. I have said many times, “Yeah! That’s the word for it. That’s what I’m feeling right now.”
As Christians, we often struggle with setting our affections on earthly things, but Philippians 3:17-20 reminds us that our true citizenship is in heaven and our ultimate hope lies there. By knowing this truth and prioritizing the kingdom of God, we can live a life of joy and faithfulness, even in the midst of tension between our earthly and heavenly responsibilities.
