RESENTMENT – The Beautiful And Colourful Lesson Learnt From My Wife: LOVE And PRAY For Those Whom – You Tend To RESENT And Who RESENT You!

RESENTMENT is BITTER INDIGNATION at having been TREATED UNFAIRLY; and a mixture of Disappointment, Anger, Wrath and Fear. It comprises the three basic emotions of DISGUST, SADNESS and SURPRISE – the PERCEPTION of INJUSTICE.

If you must live COLOURFUL, FREE, PEACEFUL and ENJOY the FULNESS of Christ REDEMPTION for you, you must CULTIVATE the acts to LOVE and PRAY for the one you tend to RESENT and the one who is RESENTING you.

It’s a gracious, beautiful and colourful lesson heard and Learnt from my wife years ago to deal with human DIFFERENCE and INDIFFERENCE. And it CERTAINLY has worked and keep working for all who have been COUNSELLED along it, in dealing with various matters of life in human relationships: Spouses, Friends, Workplace Colleagues, Leadership and such like.

And it works because Christ Jesus on one of His SERMON ON THE MOUNT TEACHINGS made similar statements to us of LOVING, RELATING and PRAYING for our ENEMIES and those who DESPITEFULLY mistreat us in every respect of doing life and godly living. Matthew 5:43-48.

The best way to OVERCOME and TRIUMPH in beauty and colour over RESENTMENT is to LOVE and PRAY for the one you are RESENTING. For you can’t be ABLE to RESENT the PERSON you LOVE and PRAY for, while you BELIEVE and expect God to ANSWER such PRAYERS of yours, except you are making a mockery of yourself; in the same similarity, you will ALWAYS RESENT the PERSON you DON’T see the NEED to PRAY for or about, much else to LOVE as the Scriptures do put a demand on us, in order to be the God’s Disciple in Christ Jesus stead. John 13:34-35.

Therefore, SET YOURSELF FREE WITH LOVE AND PRAYER – It’s the ANTIDOTE to RESENTMENT. Give it a goal today you will witness peace and joy indescribable and incomprehensible for yourself and your good in Christ Jesus stead.

I pray you know and understand that LOVE and PRAYERS will work for you to deal with RESENTMENT.

Blessed regards in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING:

“Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt LOVE THY NEIGHBOUR, and HATE THINE ENEMY. 44 But I say unto you, LOVE your ENEMIES, BLESS them that CURSE you, do GOOD to them that HATE you, and PRAY for them which DESPITEFULLY use you, and PERSECUTE you; 45 that ye may be the CHILDREN of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if ye LOVE them which LOVE you, what REWARD have ye? do not even the PUBLICANS the same? 47 And if ye SALUTE your BRETHREN only, what do ye more than others? do not even the PUBLICANS so? 48 Be ye therefore PERFECT (Complete, Whole, Mature), even as your Father which is in heaven is PERFECT (Complete, Whole, Mature)” Matthew 5:43-47 (Emphasis Mine).

“If thine ENEMY be HUNGRY, GIVE him bread to EAT; and if he be THIRSTY, GIVE him water to DRINK: 22 for thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall reward thee” Proverbs 25:21-22.

“Dearly beloved, AVENGE not yourselves, but rather GIVE place unto WRATH: for it is written, VENGEANCE is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. 20 Therefore if thine ENEMY hunger, FEED him; if he THIRST, GIVE him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. 21 Be not OVERCOME of evil, but OVERCOME evil with good” Romans 12:19-21.

“Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: 20 for the WRATH of man WORKETH not the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God” James 1:19-20.

“When a man’s ways PLEASE the Lord, he MAKETH even his ENEMIES to be at peace with him” Proverbs 16:7.

“But WITHOUT FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to PLEASE him: for he that cometh to God MUST believe that he is, and that he is a REWARDER of them that DILIGENTLY seek him” Hebrews 11:6.

“So then FAITH COMETH BY HEARING, and HEARING by THE WORD of God” Romans 10:17.
