the best Bible verse for getting over
resentment is from the story of Joseph
and his brothers they ruined his life
they sold him into slavery he was
separated from his family and his father
didn't even know if he was alive then
they're reunited years later and they
lived together and then their father
passes away and after their father
passes away they come to him terrified
that now he's finally going to get
revenge and Joseph says something to
them that's so profound he says and this
is Genesis 50:
20 and 21 am I instead of God that's the
first thing he says you meant it for
evil but it turned out good what does
that mean he continues and says that I
should be able to sustain many people
because Joseph ended up being Pharaoh's
call it secretary of agriculture who was
able to plan for a global famine and
store up food which saved Egypt and all
the lands around it from starvation this
is so profound there's so many levels to
this first of all he says am I instead
of God which means yeah you guys did
wrong that's true but that's between you
and God so don't come to me for
penitence I forgive you now as far as
your penitence go to God that's between
you and God so poignant then he says to
them and by the way you meant it for bad
yeah I know at the time you threw me in
a pit you weren't trying to help me I
know that but you're not in charge you
don't write the story of my life you're
not the authors of my life God is so God
had plans way bigger than you so yes
you're accountable because you meant it
for evil and I'm not in denial I'm not
pretending that you were trying trying
to do me a favor as far as my life my
life is a story only written by God your
player on a stage and in my case my
story is a hero story because in the end
the whole thing my being sold into
slavery in Egypt put me into position to
be the vicroy of pharaoh and to save the
whole world from famine so I ended up
getting to accomplish my life's calling
and helping many many people so
basically what did Joseph say to them he
said you want me to believe that you
ruined my life you don't have that power
my life is a story being told to me by
God and it's a story where I am the
protagonist I am the hero that that I go
about my life in order to accomplish my
calling which is to be of service and to
do something great and if you
intersected with my life in anyway
regardless of what your intent may have
been it was only to facilitate my
calling to Greatness
