Everyone has a right to be angry. However, when the anger becomes a driving force and when anger is not dealt with properly, it can become even bigger and manifest itself in our daily living and being. Anger makes us do and say things that we shouldnt. Sometimes anger becomes like a veil that covers our eyes. Soon we find ourselves behaving in ways that are personally destructive. Yes we deserve to be able to express our anger, BUT if we dont take ownership and ultimately forgive, then that anger "backfires" and fills our souls with all sorts of displeasure. Anger breads anger and turns into hatred. Anger becomes a self fulfilling prophesy in our lives and soon that anger just takes over, making us bitter and ultimately spiritually dead.
I have seen this kind of anger ruin peoples lives. While there are fruits of the spirit waiting to enrich our lives, we choose instead to harbour resentment, anger and hatred. Ask yourself if you are a strong enough vessal to contain a lifetime of anger. I think you will agree you are not. This beloved anger becomes a ball and chain and steals our joy. No, ultimately we must make a choice. Lets not anger govern our lives. We are not slaves. We are free. The most beautiful expression of a free man is forgiveness.
