CAUSES OF RESENTMENT: WHAT CAUSES FEELINGS OF RESENTMENT?

HOW TO STOP RESENTING PEOPLE

Forgiveness, acceptance, patience, honesty are virtues that help heal and prevent feelings of resentment toward people.

Remember that God promises a double portion of blessings for all their past sorrow/pain. Unforgiveness hurts you more than it hurts the other party. Forgiveness liberates you from the hold that your pain has had over you. Some people resent someone because that person seems to be more blessed in the areas that they themselves are battling in. Envy is very damaging. It is better and much wiser to seek advice from the person who has what you don’t, than to hate them. Resenting someone because you envy them causes you to lose focus of what it is you wish for – since you are concentrating on envy and resentment, you can only reap that which you are sowing.

If you are resenting somebody because they do not treat you right – communication is needed. Fear of confrontation should not stop you from telling the person how you should be treated and spoken to. Open those channels of communication and you are halfway in dealing with resentment in your life.
