Anger used to be a real issue for me. I still feel anger but it has much less
control over me than in the past. I know
that anger has a place in Christ followers but I must reason out what that
place is.
Paul counsels the Ephesians to “be angry and sin not.” There are things that I must give my anger
but without violating my obedience to Christ.
As I think through this a list of things pops into my head and easily
half of them are just my pride and selfishness trying to gain a foothold.
When I allow anger to be real within me it must never
control me. There seem to be some clear
rules regarding anger. There are just as
many vagaries. I know what makes me
angry but I need to reason out which of those things are valid and which is my
own willfulness.
I think this will be a painful walk but a necessary
one. I invite your company and thoughts
as I journey through this.
Wishing you joy in the journey,
Aramis Thorn
Mat 13:52 So Jesus said to them, "That is why every writer
who has become a disciple of Christ’s rule of the universe is like a home
owner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure
store."
