Sometimes we have to do things that we don't like to do. In a day, you may spend most of your time doing things that are "have to" instead of "want to". When we get caught up in this daily grind, it can be easy to feel bitter about all the "have to" things. Bitterness can sneak up on us in relationships as well, perhaps when we feel like a friend is not putting as much into the relationship as we are or if our family doesn't respect our needs. Here are some tips and bible passages to help settle those feelings of bitterness and allow us to live a happier life.
1. Focus on this that bring you joy.
"Finally, beloved, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things" (Philippians 4:8)
2. Put your trust in God.
"We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose" (Romans 8:28)
3. Be patient and seek the purpose.
"And after you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, support, strengthen, and establish you" (1 Peter 5:10)
4. Know you have a special place in God's eyes.
"For in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith. As many of you were baptized into Christ have clothed yourself with Christ. There is no longer Jew or Greek, there is no longer slave or free, there is no longer male or female; for all of you are one in Christ Jesus. And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to the promise" (Galatians 3:26-29)
