Mu...I am very glad that I came across this article. Must be divine guidance.<BR/><BR/>I became a Christian 10 years ago when I went to the States to start my graduate school, after that I drafted and ended up living in Canada. I had a not very pleasant experience with my first job in Canada. I am still actively looking for work right now.<BR/><BR/>I became aware of my bitter root problem when I left the States and started to adjust the life in Canada. I had this unrealistic expectation that the church I belong to should have helped me. Sometimes I was afraid of my thoughts about my follow church goers. After sometime, instead of understanding the weakness of others, nobody's perfect. I become very angry at others.<BR/><BR/>Knowing it is poisoning my thoughts and my life, I realized that some of the resentment is from my childhood, I grew up in a loveless family, I have never been an emotional stable person to begin with. Before I became a believer, it was not such a big deal, but after accepting Christ, I knew that I need to forgive yet I could not do it.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the article, I really appreciate the message.<BR/><BR/>Amanda HuangAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
