Your Past Hurt Doesn't Have to Define Your Future

Описание: Angela offers encouragement to those grappling with "anger and resentment" from past events, guiding them toward "forgiveness". This video emphasizes the importance of "letting go" for impro ved "mental health" and emotional "healing". It's a reminder that today is a new day for freedom. The Bible (which Christians understand as conveying what God says through Scripture) addresses resentment primarily in connection with bitterness, anger, unforgiveness, and holding grudges. God consistently views resentment as harmful—something that poisons the heart, damages relationships, hinders prayer and fellowship with Him, and can even give the devil a foothold.
Resentment is never portrayed positively. Instead, Scripture repeatedly commands believers to put it away, root it out, and replace it with forgiveness, kindness, and love—mirroring how God has forgiven us through Christ.
Here are some of the clearest and most direct teachings:

Ephesians 4:31-32 — "Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you."
This is a direct command to eliminate resentment in all its forms and to forgive as we've been forgiven.
Hebrews 12:14-15 — "Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord. See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God; that no 'root of bitterness' springs up and causes trouble, and by it many become defiled."
Resentment is described as a "root of bitterness" that starts small but grows to defile (poison) both the person holding it and those around them.
Mark 11:25 — "And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses."
Jesus ties unforgiveness (a core part of resentment) directly to our own forgiveness from God.
Matthew 6:14-15 — "For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."
This is one of the strongest warnings: harboring resentment blocks our experience of God's forgiveness. #hurt #resentment #letitgo
