Resentment
Posted on 01. Jul, 2011 by Katherine Martinez in devotional, messages, spiritual formation
John Wenrich led a 2-part devotional at the ECC Annual Meeting in Estes Park this week.
His topic was resentment. John admitted that the theme was an unusual choice for a retreat-style devo.
As the Spirit would have it, this message struck a chord with the whole room. Here’s what I wrote down:
- Resentment starts with hurt feelings.
- “Resentment kills the dream and tears the team apart.”
- Comparison contributes to resentment.
- When we resent someone, almost everything that person does seems suspicious or irritating.
- “Resentment is the poison you drink hoping your enemy will die.”
- “Do you want to be well?” (Cured of resentment?)
John’s devo was two parts. The whole second part is focused Bible wisdom that helps us get off the road of resentment and onto the narrow road that leads to life– free from resentment.
