Are You Angry?
A
nger is a common phenomenon. But if it's not controlled in time it may be lethal. It has adverse affects on the person who gets angry, it can hurt others emotionally, and it can destroy & poison the whole environment. Few things we need to remember in our life about this venom called 'Anger', which are given below: God doesn't like it: We should remember that God doesn't like when we get angry and speak rudely to others. That's why the Bible says, 'my dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, for man's anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires.' Anger is Sin: We are instructed to subdue our anger as quick as possible because it is sin. We need to understand that anger itself is not sin but the after effect of anger is sin. As we all know we lose our consciousness when we are angry. That way we commit sin. That's why God says, “In your anger do not sin. Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry.”

Be Wise: King Solomon the wise king states, “A fool gives full vent to his anger, but a wise man keeps himself under control.” So when we don't control our emotion of anger we are considered as foolish. Most of the great people knew well to control their anger. That's why they were honored as wise people. Anger is taxing: The wise king also says, “For as churning the milk produces butter, and as twisting the nose produces blood, so stirring up anger produces strife." I have already mentioned that how anger is so difficult to handle. Even sometimes anger causes ulcer in our stomach. It has its manifold adverse effects. In conclusion I would like to say that we should also be careful not to make others angry. As we all know that, “a gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.” Lastly, LOVE can be used as potion, as it is not easily angered and It keeps no record of wrongs. God bless you!
