I need to let go

I have feelings of resentment toward someone in my life. I know these are not feelings that God approves of. I know I need to let these feelings go but I am really struggling to do that. The hard part of this for me is I haven't shared the feelings with the person. If I did, it would only cause them pain. I think they can sense these feelings I have for them and that doesn't feel too good. Have you ever had feelings of resentment against someone? If so, were you able to let them go? If so, how?

I am still working on forgiveness in many instances and with many people. I think I talked about that during table talk at Latte. It's a process for me. :)

For me, I need to understand and be understood. I talk to someone who is a wise counsel and I lay my heart bare. When I can talk and describe how/why I feel a certain way, and when that someone who I trust says "I understand," then, with prayer, I am able to let go.
