Coincidentally (except I don't believe in coincidence), I got this just now from my aunt, reporting on what her senior pastor said in church last Sunday -
"Paul was resentless in his pursuit of Christlikeness." I thought that was a pretty good sermon in itself!
Yes, it is. Dang it. My pride is so irrepressible that the moment I'm humbled I get self-righteous, and when God points it out to me I get my feelings hurt. Well, here's to the resentless pursuit of Christlikeness! (lifting my contract-approved sparkling beverage.)
(Yes, oh my past classmates, I still have to abide by the campus rules!)

Because I'm sure it also applied, but I like your version better. I like to think we get further when we focus on not resenting than we do when our focus is not relenting. Bleach! I'm more often learning to relent and not resent! ;)
