We have all met that one person that is just angry at the world. The one that flies off the handle at the drop of a hat. It’s not hard to know that there is some deeper issue going on that probably stems from a pattern of events throughout their life. Then, on the flip side, there is that person that never seems to get upset at anything. Their house could be on fire and they would find a nice thing to say like, “Man, those firemen sure got here fast and did a great job”. Don’t you just want to punch that guy sometimes, LOL. Just kidding.
Anger is never the initial feeling but is an internal defense of a negative reaction. It will normally begin with being hurt by someone or something THEN will lead to anger. Regardless of which kind of person you are there will be a time when you too will become “Hurt” or “Angry” at someone or something.
Anger is not necessarily bad for at times it can save your life. Professional life coaches say that you won’t gain victory over a particular issue till you get angry about it but, it must be something worthwhile, a positive. More times than not, however, it will do nothing more than rob you of the joys of life if your anger is not valid.
I ask you to do this today, evaluate any anger (or hurt feelings) that you may have. Are you the one suffering while the other party has no idea? Pray and ask God to help you to see the issue through HIS eyes. Seek counseling if needed and regain your joy in life.
NO MORE CHAINS
