Some Words for people who have Resentment and Anger. Comes from the book The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren. Chapter 3 "What Drives Your Life?". I observed that the basic motive for success is the driving force of envy and jealousy!- Ecclesiastes 4:4 (LB) MANY PEOPLE ARE DRIVEN BY RESENTMENT AND ANGER. They hold on to hurts and never get over them. Instead of releasing their pain through forgiveness, they rehearse it over and over in their minds. Some resentment-driven people "clam up" and internalize their anger, while others "blow up" and explode in onto other. Both responses are unhealthy and unhelpful. Resentment always hurts you more than it does the other person you resent. While your offender has probably forgotten the offense and gone on with life, you continue to stew in your pain, perpetuating the past. Listen: Those who have hurt you in the past cannot continue to hurt you now UNLESS you hold on to the pain through resentment. Your past is past. Nothing will change it. You are only hurting yourself with your bitterness. For your own sake, learn from it, and then let it go. The Bible says, "To worry yourself to death with resentment would be foolish, senseless thing to do-Job 5:2 (TEV)" Hope you receive these words by heart.
