Resentment is the inability to adjust emotionally to unexpected displeasure , a hateful remark , or an act of betrayal. It is hard to say you live in this world without getting offended by someone about something at sometime / the people who you love or claim to love you hurt by their words or action .
The bible attains to this in ( Luke 17 vs 1).

“..AND JESUS SAID TO HIS DISCIPLES, TEMPTATIONS(SNARES,TRAPS SET TO ENTICE TO SIN) ARE SURE TO COME …..”

According to New Amplified Bible.

In this powerful article, we delve into the topic of "Resentment" – a profound emotion that can quietly consume us if left unaddressed. Join us as we explore the roots of resentment, its impact on our lives, and discover liberating strategies to break free from the chains of unforgiveness. Let's embark on a journey of healing and growth, as we learn to embrace empathy, forgiveness, and inner peace.

Resentment, like a silent serpent, often creeps into our lives unnoticed, coiling tightly around our hearts, poisoning our thoughts, and tethering us to past hurts and grievances. It is a powerful emotion, born from feelings of injustice, betrayal, or unmet expectations. While it may seem justified in the moment, harboring resentment can lead to a downward spiral of negative emotions, eroding our well-being and hindering personal growth.

The Roots of Resentment:

Resentment typically takes root in our hearts when we perceive that we have been wronged or treated unfairly. Whether it's a friend's betrayal, a colleague's promotion we deserved, or a loved one's hurtful words, these experiences can sow the seeds of bitterness. If left unaddressed, resentment can fester, growing stronger with time and coloring our perceptions of the world around us.
