I want to talk to you about a friend of mine this morning. I know that it is not polite to talk about other people in public, but our Scripture this morning forces me to do so. I’m sure you know my friend, although some of you may not know him as well. On the other hand, some of you may know him better than I do. He has befriended all of us at some point in our lives, and he always stands ready at any time we need him to step in and make us feel better, much like a child’s pacifier.
I am talking about our friend, resentment.
He lurks around in the shadows of our lives, ready to step in at every disappointment, every hurt feeling, and every perceived injustice that we experience. He gives us ideas about how we can make ourselves feel better, but in the end resentment is not a very good friend.
