ANGER:)

GM. Good week here. 2nd Heat Wave of the year here and starting a 3rd this week... With all this heat, the thought of the week is Anger! This is a normal human emotion, but how we manage our Anger is the real challenge. The Bible teaches that Anger itself is not a sin but must be controlled and expressed righteously with patience, forgiveness and self-restraint. Now that is the Hard part! I'm sure most of us admittedly struggle with our Anger Management... if not you are probably lying to yourself. How often have you lost your temper while driving, or with your spouse or children?... We tend to Justify Our Anger.... He/She or It Made Me... Well, Nothing Makes You but You! It Can't come out of you if it isn't In You! We are all Guilty! We are not perfect and never will be! But we can All do Better! Try to React less and Respond More! Slow your Roll! I pray we let God help soften our hearts and be more righteous with any anger we experience. React to Anger Less and Respond in Love More... In ALL Circumstances! Have a great Week! JITIY
