My Pastor always said, when harboring resentment or bitterness, “Life’s too short, God’s too good, and the Kingdom’s too important”.

How many days have you awakened to find yourself still senselessly tormented by the way someone either betrayed, disappointed, confronted, or antagonized you? Personally, I have wasted too many hours and rented too much mental space to other people who have frustrated me.

Raise your hand if you’ve ever felt like you were in a rut of life. If you’ve ever simply felt like you were barely jogging in place and losing interest by the mile, please stand up. Me too.

Too many men feel shame for losing direction, finding themselves at the bottom of a pile of smoldering coles that were once a raging fire of passion and purpose in their lives.
