The way to handle Resentment
Can there be someone in your lifetime who’s unjustly hurting you, even wronging you, and there’s not any real cause for it? Does it seem that at times it’s impossible to get over, as your personalities manage to clash and it just grates upon you and irritates you? What are you going to do about it in that case?
Some time ago I was compelled to have with someone that way; these people were doing work in our home during that time. It had been somebody that was so crude and so rude, with your a temper which they would flare up at the very least little thing. It had been a continuing trial, etc a bitter trial! Several times I just desired to let them know what I seriously considered them!
But at last I started to draw near to the Lord within the matter, and to throw the whole burden upon Him. If Christ lives in me, he then could overcome this type of spirit and assist me to never to wish to talk back.-I wouldn’t get so hurt over this case, i reasoned that! Well, finally I came utterly towards the end of myself and threw myself on the Lord. I said, “Lord, it merely isn’t in me to acquire a complete victory as well as love this as I should. Your nature and Your love as well as your Spirit can overcome., however the old nature rises up” I committed everything into His hands so definitely, so utterly, and then there is the highest improvement in that individual!
As it was this kind of wonderful solution to prayer, then one night I was thanking the Lord for changing them. It absolutely was really a miracle! I was thanking the Lord, and the Holy Spirit whispered to my heart-and that i think it is just a little bit of humor by the Lord. I changed you a little bit too, though he explained, “Well, I not merely changed them! ” That’s exactly what can happen in your life whenever you commit such things to Him.
So, in accordance with God’s Word, what are you going to do about these situations? Well, below are a few Scriptures. God’s Word says, “Recompense to no man evil for evil” (Romans 12: 17). And, speaking of Jesus, “When He was reviled, [He] reviled not again” (1 Peter 2: 23).
“See that none render evil for evil unto any man” (1 Thessalonians 5: 15), and “Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good” (Romans 12: 21). Those are precious admonitions from God’s Word!
Overcome evil with good? How? -By showing the person that you love them. Do them some kind of special favor. Take the initiative and fall out of your way to inform them something you want about the subject! Maybe this person’s heart is hungering for love. Alternatively, maybe that woman is wanting someone to talk to her and love her. There’s surely some trait that one could admire.
– From “Meditation Moments,” a Gospel radio broadcast by Virginia Brandt Berg (mother of David Brandt Berg)
I suppose there are times when all of us show up against difficult individuals who are somewhat of any trial to us. At this point, rather than allowing them to make us impatient and irritated, we may well remember the words in the great preacher, C.H. Spurgeon, who said, “They must have already been sent into the world, not really that I may save their souls, but that they might discipline mine! ”
–Francis Gay
An Extract of Wisdom
Recently, when my dentist extracted certainly one of my wisdom teeth, he told me this interesting fact: “Whenever a tooth is removed right after it might be troublesome, the bone it’s lodged in lets go of the tooth easily. But when you allow time and energy to pass, the bone becomes less forgiving. Good bone and bad tooth become intertwined.”
“Less forgiving … ” my dentist said. These words helped me notice that my soul is comparable to that bone. When someone does us a wrong, I feel resentment. It’s natural. But as resentment takes root, it requires over, and my soul loses the strength to forgive.
Nowadays, when I’m done an inappropriate, I’m quick to uproot it, before my good soul becomes too intertwined with bad feelings.
-Jane Tilley
Holding on to hurt is much like grabbing a rattle snake through the tail: You will be bitten. Death will occur-death that is more far-reaching than your physical death, for this provides the possibility to destroy those surrounding you as well, because the poison of bitterness works its way through the many elements of your personality.
– Charles Stanley
The Bible says, “Thou shalt not bear any grudge” (Leviticus 19: 17-18).
After I forgive, I am just never to carry any bullets forward in the journey. I am to empty out all of my explosives, all of my ammunition of anger and revenge. I am not to “bear any grudge.”
I cannot meet this demand. It is actually altogether beyond me. I cannot reveal a clear, bright, blue sky without a bit of storm brewing anywhere, although i might utter words of forgiveness.
However the Lord of grace can perform it to me. He could change my weather. He can create a new climate. He can “renew the right spirit within me” (Psalm 51: 10), as well as in that new atmosphere nothing shall live which seeks to poison and destroy. Grudges shall die and revenge shall give place to goodwill, the strong genial presence that makes its home inside the new heart.
-J. H. Jowett
Let It Go
Carrying a grudge is actually a loser’s game. As it leaves you with more pain than you experienced in the first place, it is the ultimate frustration. Recall the pain for being wronged, the hurt to be stung, cheated, demeaned. Doesn’t the memory of it fuel the fire of fury again? Do you feel that hurt every time your memory lights on those who do you wrong?
Your very own memory becomes a videotape inside your soul that plays unending reruns of the old rendezvous with pain. Is this fair to yourself-this wretched justice of not forgiving?
The only method to heal the pain which will not heal itself is to forgive the person who hurt you. Forgiving heals your memory as you alter your memory’s vision. When you release the wrongdoer through the wrong, you cut a malignant tumor away from your inner life. You place a prisoner free-yourself.
-Lewis B. Smedes
How can you conquer your enemy? – By making him your friend.
Whenever a Hindu woman was a follower of Christ, her husband along with other relatives made an effort to make her life miserable. One day a missionary asked her, “When your husband is angry and persecutes you, where do you turn? ”
She replied, “I simply cook the meal better and sweep the ground a little cleaner. As he speaks unkindly, I answer him mildly, trying to show him in each and every manner in which once i became a Christian In addition, i was a better wife.”
That husband resisted all of the sermons in the missionary, but he could not withstand the practical preaching of his wife. The Holy Spirit used that woman’s gracious testimony and ultimately the man received Jesus.
Once we are wronged, we can either harbor resentment, or look for ways to show God’s want to our antagonist.
– Henry G. Bosch
Once the concentration camp at Ravensbr{ck was liberated by the Allies after World War II, a bit of torn wrapping paper was found, on which an unknown prisoner had scribbled these lines:
Also those of ill will, although “Oh Lord, remember not just the women and men of good will. But do not remember all the suffering they have got inflicted on us; recall the fruits we now have brought forth, because of this suffering – our comradeship, our loyalty, our humility, our courage, our generosity, the greatness of heart which has grown away from this. And when they come to judgment, let all the fruits which we have borne be their forgiveness.”
Love covers a variety of sins (1 Peter 4: 8), and will give you the grace and power to just let things pass, to forgive others everbody knows that you simply yourself must be forgiven.
If you’ll just forget yourself and think much more about others, and incredibly attempt to help and pray for and love them, you’ll find that will solve the majority of your problems! When you get your brain off yourself and on others you’ll realize that this is what will give you true happiness and joy. That’s the formula for locating joy: Put Jesus first, then others, and you! -J-O-Y!
First of all, get your mind on Jesus, then He’ll help you to get it onto your neighbor, and enable you to love him as yourself.
-David Brandt Berg.
Be not disturbed at not being understood; be disturbed rather at not being understanding. &&&- Ancient Chinese proverb
The faults of others are like headlights with an approaching automobile: They simply seem more glaring than our very own.
Forgiven sinners know show and love love.

Four Magic Words
A nurse ushered me into my grandma’s room. Lying within the hospital bed, she looked so small. Her eyes were closed. I sat down quietly.
I used to be on my own method to seminary and filled with self-doubt. I had just given up a full scholarship to medical school, and everyone thought I had been making a mistake. I desperately wanted Grandma’s advice, but the nurse had warned me she didn’t have much strength left. After 30 minutes, Grandma hadn’t stirred, therefore i just started talking. You,. Which is suddenly she woke up, asking, “Danny? ”
She told me how her faith had guided her all her life. After a few minutes, a great peace settled around us. I heard her whisper some parting words, even though i kissed Grandma and turned to leave. I leaned over to listen. “I believe inside you,” she said.
Grandma died that night, but in greater than twenty years of work as a Christian psychologist, We have transferred her words often. Four simple words can make a lifetime of difference.
–Dan Montgomery
I consider my capability to arouse enthusiasm one of the men [inside my company] the highest asset I possess, and how to produce the very best in a man is actually by encouragement and appreciation.
There exists nothing else that so kills the ambitions of any man as criticisms from his superiors. I never criticize anyone. I believe in giving a guy incentive to work. So, loathe to find fault, although i am just anxious to praise. If I like anything, I am hearty within my approbation and lavish inside my praise.
–Charles Schwab (American Industrialist, 1862-1939)
The applause of a single individual is of great consequence.–Samuel Johnson (English writer, 1709-1784)
The deepest principle in human nature is the craving to become appreciated.–William James ( American philosopher, 1842-1920)
The skill of Praise
You will find a very basic courtesy that should apply in all human relations–finding the time to thank individuals who assist us. My buddy Mike Somdal is actually a specialist at this particular. He has mastered the fine art of creating people feel good by thanking them regularly. That’s one reason he is so successful in operation. Often he will call customers only to thank them again for the order they placed a week ago or perhaps for the recommendation they designed to another customer. Alternatively, for the lunch. Anything. And before the conversation has ended, Mike has often secured another order. If he called simply with ulterior motives, his clients would recognize the manipulation and resist, needless to say. But Mike makes gratitude an ongoing habit, and people who work with him appreciate that quality. And we respond.
The art of praise–what is known as positive reinforcement in the present psychological jargon–is an essential art for an executive or teacher [or anyone dealing with people] to master. It is this if there is a complaint employees most often express: “I never have any feedback from the boss–except when something fails.” Once I bring home a good grade he acts just as if it’s nothing–that I’m finally doing a few things i should have been doing all along., although and also the teenagers who sit inside my office inform me again and again, “My dad gets all over my case once i screw up in class” Stop and think. How much time has it been because you took a full 60 seconds to speak with your son or daughter about some fine thing they’ve just done? Or maybe your secretary, or the managers who work under you?
When someone comes along who genuinely thanks us, we will follow that individual an extremely long way.–Alan Loy McGinnis
Giving by Praising
Each time we meet, on your part I hear
Some word of praise, some cheer.
The truth is some hidden, struggling trait;
Encourage it to make it great.
Tight-fisted little buds of great
Bloom large simply because you said they could.
A glad, mad music in me sings;
My soul sprouts tiny flaming wings.
My day assumes a brand name-new zest.
Your gift of praising brings my best,
Revives my spirit, flings it high;
For God loves praise, therefore do you.
–Author Unknown
A few days before my father died, once i was a senior in college, he took me aside and showed me a box of clippings of newspaper and magazine articles he had written and hidden away. After I asked in surprise why he hadn’t shown me these before, he replied, “Your mother discouraged me from writing because I don’t possess a higher education, so I’ve done it in secret and she doesn’t know.”
Mother had not intended to be a discourager, but she had stated what seemed an obvious fact to her: You shouldn’t write if you’re not educated.
My father had not let this attitude depress him, but he had “hidden his light under a bushel.” He told me he had written a post for that
Advance magazine but it had not been published. “I suppose I reached for something a touch too big this time around,” he shared. How touched I used to be which he had told me about his desire for writing and also the article he had sent to the Advance magazine! Within days my father dropped dead inside a Boston subway station, and when of the funeral the brand new issue of Advance arrived–with his article published within it. Had he not confided in me, I would personally never have opened that issue.
I have the framed article with my father’s picture hanging within my study, and each time I glance at it I wonder what that man may have become as an author if only someone had believed in him.
We are now living in a discouraging world full of people that put us down. What bright lights we could be whenever we repeat the simple words, “We have confidence in you! ”
–Florence Littauer
We All Need Encouragement!
Quotes from David Brandt Berg
Most people are not really conceited, but feel a certain amount of inferiority and tend to get a little discouraged with themselves, therefore encouragement is a very important thing! I do all of it the time! –I praise everybody for everything they do which i see is nice.
We all need the encouragement of others, but the majority of us fail very often to show appreciation or comfort to people about us! Since we must make up every idle word (see Matthew 12: 36,37), so we must for every idle silence!
The showing of genuine appreciation and gratitude of [another’s] help immediately tends to produce a proffered friend much more friendly, and inclined to befriend you again.
Try to remind yourself constantly of others’ good qualities, the good things, and try not to consider their shortcomings. All the way through the Bible, the Lord commended people for their good works. It’s our service and good works for Him which he especially commends, even though it has nothing related to our salvation, that is a free gift. Thank God which he really appreciates our sacrifice and also the things we all do for Him far above the phone call of duty!
Remember, everyone is hungry for praise and starving for honest appreciation!
