Subject: Why does God impart familial bitterness?

Bible Note: You may never find this in this present world. I don't mean to be unsympathetic. It is hard to know the real circumstances of people who post on the forum. Their history, mind-set, and specific choices would need to be understood before any real semblence of Godly advice could be offered. This, however, is not the purpose of this forum.

The word of God tells us to focus on accumulating treasure in heaven, rather than on the earth. Heaven is your destination. (My grandfather used to say, "A hundred years from now we'll all be bald.") All that you see, hear, feel, and experience will pass away. Jesus assured us that God knows everything that we need, so He told us to "seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you." (Matthew 6:33) As you pursue holiness, God will either see to it that you have the family care that you need, or He will give you the grace to go without it.
