Let Go Of Resentments

Our fatigue is often caused not by work, but by worry, frustration and resentment. – Dale Carnegie

While anger alerts us of immediate danger or evil, and is a temporary tool to help us fight or flee from harm, resentment poisons our soul slowly and becomes a burden too heavy to bear over time.

Have you a resentment? A need to forgive someone?

Sometimes, we don’t even know we have resentments that have been buried for so long. We thought we have forgotten these, but quite often, they come out one way or the other. They can manifest through physical ailments, or they can suddenly erupt in explosions of anger when triggered by a stressful event.

We have to discover if we have hurts hidden deeply in our heart. How can we even begin to forgive if we can’t even acknowledge we have been hurt?

Let us try to face these memories one by one so we can start the process of true healing. Only when we have truly been able to forgive can we be released from the pain. Only after finding this freedom can we find true happiness.

Do not bear a grudge against others, but settle your differences with them, so that you will not commit a sin because of them. Do not take revenge on others or continue to hate them, but love your neighbors as you love yourself. I am the Lord. – Leviticus 19:17-18, GNT
