Stops & Steps 1766 13Aug2011

Our life may be driven by resentment and anger

Our life is driven by something. There are numerous circumstances, values and emotions that can drive our life.

We may be driven by resentment and anger.
We remember hurts and never get over them. We rehearse our feelings of hate over again and again in our minds. These resentment hurts us more than it does the person we resent. While the other party may have long forgotten the offense, and carry on with his life, we continue to stew in our pain, perpetuating the past. This is unhealthy. Those who have hurt us in the past cannot continue to hurt us now unless we hold on to the pain through resentment. The past is over !! We are only hurting ourselves with bitterness.

Job 5 : 2
Resentment kills a fool, and envy slays the simple.
