What do you do with the anger that keeps replaying in your mind?
The conversations.
The injustice.
The words you wish you could say back.
In this episode, John Ortberg looks at the remarkable life of Saint Patrick — a man who was kidnapped, enslaved for six years, and yet chose a path almost no one would expect.
Instead of revenge, Patrick returned to the people who enslaved him with a message of love and forgiveness.
His life raises a hard question for all of us:
What do we do with the pain that makes condemnation feel justified?
John explores two deeply practical practices that help us escape the prison of bitterness:
• Stop ruminating about the person who hurt you
• Stop gossiping about them
These small decisions can redirect the entire trajectory of your heart.
Because the voice you rehearse in your mind
will eventually shape the life you live.
And the way of Jesus — even in the face of deep injustice — is the way of blessing.
