... no one else feels it but you. I used to do this thing called Raft, a volunteer crisis hotline service. One of the other counselors said that to someone on the phone. I'm not sure if that's best to say to someone going through a rough time, but it will get their attention. It certainly got mine.Last night I was having dinner with Laura, and a bitter thought started to dwell within me. Someone had said something to me several months ago, and I have yet to really let it go. The result - I get pissed off at someone, and that person has no idea. Bitterness is always one-sided.
We can respond to it several different ways. We can (1) continue to be pissed off about it while it eats us from the inside-out; (2) brush it off and let it brew slowly until it creeps back up again; or (3) let God help you. At some point it takes a prayer like, "I can't do this on my own, so You need to help me with this." At this point, God can work on your heart.
I can't say I'm fully over this thing, but I'm getting there.
