A great reminder of how to properly process anger. I must confess that I have gotten angry (in church or at a church event) 2 or 3 times over the past six years. I feel two of those stemmed from the wrong source (my pride and/or stress) and one came from the heart and was actually justified (I was praying for someone seated in their car and was intentionally interrupted and told to stop praying for them to allow traffic to move…of course, I was led by the Spirit to continue to pray and politely discussed my actions with the individual afterward… and it was a very short prayer)! I think in each case, I showed a measured level of restraint…and in one of those other times, I uncharacteristically, simply walked away for couple minutes until I cooled down! I’m not there yet, but with the help of the Holy Spirit, I’m getting much better at controlling and processing anger! 😁
This needs to be taught more and in depth! This passage is often used in religious churches that preach legalism. It has caused so much pain to people.
This right here is a lesson and insight that everyone should be intentional about and place in the highest regard.
Youre the best!
