it’s time to take a good look at
the situation. There may be an
underlying issue. Chronic anger
brings suffering that entails living
with pain that doesn’t go away. It
can be masked temporarily, but
it won’t leave on its own. It must
be evicted by the Holy Spirit in
order to get rid of it for good.
This is not a case where, “If the
shoe fits, wear it.” No! I say, if the
shoe fits, kick them both off and
go barefoot. You do not have to
wear those shoes. You do not
have to live with inward anger
any longer. If you find that you
are living with unresolved anger,
you are not alone. You can trust
God to help you discover the
underlying causes of the anger.
Talk to Him and ask Him to reveal
the truth to you. Be ready and
willing to hear from Him however
He chooses to answer. “Listen”
to Him through His Word, talk
to a trusted friend, a pastor, or
Christian counselor. But do tell
someone. This is the first step
to being free. John 8:32 says,
“Then you will know the truth,
and the truth will set you free.”
What truth? The truth about all
of the unresolved issues lying
inside your heart. It’s the truth
about ourselves that makes us
free.
Don’t be embarrassed or afraid
to appear vulnerable. And please
don’t hold it inside thinking you
have no other choice, you do.
God Himself gave us a choice.
God says, “…I have set before
you life and death, blessings
and curses. Now choose life that
you and your children may live.”
(Deut. 30:19). We “choose life”
by letting go of unforgiveness,
resentment and bitterness. All
of your pain was nailed on the
cross with Jesus. You do not
have to live with anger and pain.
You have a choice. Therefore,
choose to let go, and live. Be
blessed.
