ANGER AND RELATIONSHIPS;
Exodus 20:13, "You shall not murder."
While you might think this commandment is not too applicable, I believe
it is vital. It is telling you not to destroy your
spouse/relationship.
Jesus helps us understand this principle in Matthew 5. He said, "You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder, and whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment.' But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment."
Jesus went right to the root of murder: anger and hatred. If you are going to have a good, healthy, lasting marriage, you need to learn to be gentle. People who are easily angered, who are violent or have an explosive temper destroys relationships.
If you are dating someone who blows up easily, you ought to take it as a warning sign. If they get mad at things at any little thing, that anger can be turned on you very easily.
Anger erodes relationships. If you have a hot temper, get it under control, or the devil will control your life and others through it.
Another way anger is expressed is by going stone cold…using silence and angry moodiness to punish your mate. Again, not a healthy thing for a marriage. If you anger quickly and forgive slowly, you are a hard person to live with. Work at being quick to forgive, and make the controlling of your anger a serious matter of prayer. God will help you.
If you do not master your temper, it will master you. And it will not only decay and destroy a marriage relationship, it will harm every other meaningful relationship you have in life.
Many have through impulsive and uncontrollable anger destroyed the bridges that would have led them into their destiny greatness.
May that anger not destroy your links to fruitfulness.
Pray with me; lord deliver me from the stronghold of anger, wether acquired or inherited in Jesus name!
Have a testimony filled week in Jesus name!
