anger
i got angry a few time today. ok so angry might be an over statement, maybe upset, maybe frustrated are better words to describe. but it's ok. it turned out ok.
i looked it up today, and "slow to anger" is mentioned 9 times in the Bible. now, if anything has to be repeated that many times i figure it's pretty dang important. Each time it's referred to, it's in reference to God and how He is slow to anger.
Something that i found out that follows each and every verse with out fault is either and abounding in love or and rich in love.
God. slow to anger. abounding in love.
for the most part, when i get angry i try to keep it in, i've always found that there is no purpose in picking on all the little things in life and i prefer to live my life in happiness rather than arguing and picking fights about things that really won't matter a few days from the incident. I'm still quick to anger, i dislike it, but i'll admit it. i've had my occasional "loose cannon" moments where i've just burst out and said things that i knew the instant they left my mouth that i'd regret them. i pray that in time i will learn - "slow to anger"...
slow to anger. abounding in love. when you abound in love, it's to exist, but to exist in a great quantity (and quality). our love for individuals, our friends, families etc...why is it that we are always the "quickest to anger" with our families or our significant others...i've always thought of it as "because we expect more out of them"... but the point is that you have to have to be abounding in love to not be one to "quick to anger". it isn't that your love "depresses" your anger - because we all do... i guess it keeps us or at least me, in check that the love that i show to people has to be consistent, abundant, never ending - and therefore i'll learn to tame my temper.
