We must be ever mindful of the things of Christ, not the things of the world (Matthew 16:22-23). And resentment is worldly, not Christlike at all. We must guard our hearts (Proverbs 4:23) against this deadly spiritual poison or it'll ruin our lives spiritually and cause us to miss out on heaven. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. - 1 John 1:9 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1John1:9&version=NKJV Think of all the times God has forgiven us, and that should kill resentment for sure.

1 Peter Chapter 2 Therefore, laying aside all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking,as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby,if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious. - 1 Peter 2:1-3 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1Peter2:1-3&version=NKJV We must lay aside malice, deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and evil speaking. And desire His Word with a sincere heart.  Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious,you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture, “Behold, I lay in Zion A chief cornerstone, elect, precious, And he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame.”Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; but to those who are disobedient, “The stone which the builders rejected Has beco...
