Anger…

Once upon a time, I was angry…at the world, at church, at my family, at everything….I didn’t know I was so angry…and I really don’t remember the reason why now…but things were not going my may….

One Sunday, I walked into church, sat through the songs and then the sermon and I realized I was just plain mad at God…I can remember where I sat that day and how the realization hit me hard…I wasn’t trusting God’s goodness even through the trials or circumstances…I thought I had a better plan…and I was mad…angry…and everyone around me was suffering because of it…

That verse about seeing someone’s splinter in one’s eye while ignoring the plank in your own was so evident…

I was so humbled and asked for forgiveness….

It didn’t change the circumstances, but my heart was changed and I could look at what was happening with God’s light rather than my own…so much peace came, that I was startled by the amount of anger I had held onto, cherished…joy returned…

I have so far to go to learn all that God wants to teach….and the lessons are frequent…both with discipline and goodness…

Thank YOU…

Proverbs 3: 5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart

    and lean not on your own understanding;

6 in all your ways submit to him,

    and he will make your paths straight.

Isaiah 42:8 “I am the Lord; that is my name!

    I will not yield my glory to another

    or my praise to idols…

Isaiah 54:10 Though the mountains be shaken

    and the hills be removed,

yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken

    nor my covenant of peace be removed,”

Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God,which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Again I say rejoice…
