ANGER MANAGEMENT

 

 

One of the

Most wasted emotions

That we have is anger

 

We get angry

We tell someone off

We write someone

A nasty letter

 

For what

A split moment to feel better

 

But it almost

NEVER changes anything-long-term

 

But what about God

What does God

Do with his anger

When we disappoint him

 

God told Moses,

 

“The Lord, The Lord

The compassionate and gracious God

Slow to anger-abounding in love

And faithfulness

Maintaining love to thousands

And forgiving wickedness, rebelliousness, and sin”                                 Exodus 34:6 & 7

 

Maybe that’s what the Lord

Wants us to do-forgive wickedness

 

Maybe we are first

To go to our brother and sister

And talk with them

 

“Therefore

If you are offering your gift

At the altar

And there remember

That your brother

Has something against you

Leave your gift there

In front of the altar

 

First go

And be reconciled to your brother

Then come and offer your gift’’                                                         Matthew 5:23 & 24

 

And if

You have already tried this

And the person

Proved themselves unreasonable

 

I suggest

You pray for them

For God

To change their heart

And do your best

To AVOID them

 

Anger is

A POWERFUL emotion

But if

We truly forgive the other person

We can move

Closer to becoming a better person

And move

CLOSER TO GOD

 

I am NOT saying

Do not feel anger

But I am saying

Temper your anger with mercy

 

“The Lord

Is compassionate and gracious

Slow to anger

ABOUNDING IN LOVE”                                                         Psalm 103:8

 

I am saying

Before you blast someone verbally

Before you fire off

An e-mail

Or write a nasty letter

 

Think of what

The Lord would do

 

“This is how we should pray

……..

 

Forgive us our trespasses

Oh Lord

As we forgive others

……..”                                                                              Matthew 6:9 & 6:12

 

LOVE not anger

Should be at the HEART of our message
