     2. RESENTMENTS AND ANGER

Don’t be driven by Resentments and anger.

Resentment is a feeling of deep and bitter anger and ill-will. Usually people driven by resentments are evidenced in their withdrawal symptoms. They simply withdraw into their cocoons. They hibernate from all activities in order to show their resentments.

They cut off from all meaningful relationships, but what they don’t understand is that purpose cannot be fulfilled in isolation. Actually, the truth is that resentments hurt you more than the person you resent.

On the other hand, some people react to pain and hurts through outbursts and anger tantrums. Anger is a strong emotion; a feeling that is oriented toward some real or supposed grievance.

Either way, you must let go of pain and hurts. Those who have hurt you in the past cannot hurt you any longer unless you hold on to the pain. Forgive, and let go of hurts.

Stop allowing resentments and anger to drive you! Be driven by purpose.

Psa 37:8 KJV

Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.

Message translation says

Psa 37:8 MSG

Bridle your anger, trash your wrath, cool your pipes--it only makes things worse.
