Angry Heart

Why the anger in your heart?  Isn’t it such a sad condition for an individual to carry a burden in life, with the bountiful gifts God have for us?

Anger is the opposite of love. An angry person is a fool. “Be not quick in your spirit to become angry, for anger lodges in the bosom of fools.”  (Ecclesiastes 7:9)

Worse, that person does not know God.  “Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.” (1 John 4:7-8)

According to John C Boger, “Anger and bitterness are two noticeable signs of being focused on self and not trusting God’s sovereignty in your life.” Rightly so, for to be loving and caring is to be selfless and to place God’s will above one’s own.

Let us pray for those who are angry and bitter; that they be unburdened and rediscover the love that God sowed in their hearts at the moment of birth. (Bro Mel B Libre)
