*Sharing what I received today via email*:
A MAN'S WISDOM GIVES HIM PATIENCE; IT IS TO HIS
GLORY TO OVERLOOK AN OFFENCE.
( PROVERBS 19:11 * NIV )
Dear ...,
Sometimes we may let the actions of another cause
us to lose control of our temper. Before we do, it is
important to remember that; AN ANGRY MAN STIRS UP
DISSENSION, AND A HOT-TEMPERED ONE
COMMITS MANY SINS. ( PROVERBS 29:22 ) FOR AS
CHURNING THE MILK PRODUCES BUTTER, AND AS
TWISTING THE NOSE PRODUCES BLOOD, SO
STIRRING UP ANGER PRODUCES STRIFE.
( PROVERBS 30:33 )
After all; 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. ( JAMES 1:19-20 )
So the next time that someone treats you wrongly turn it
over to God to handle, and do not lose your temper or try
to get even with them. FOR WE KNOW HIM WHO SAID, "IT
IS MINE TO AVENGE; I WILL REPAY," AND AGAIN, "THE
LORD WILL JUDGE HIS PEOPLE." ( HEBREWS 10:30 )
Therefore, try your best to keep your words soft
and sweet. For we never know from day to day which words
we'll have to eat! Also remember; ABOVE ALL, LOVE EACH
OTHER DEEPLY, BECAUSE LOVE COVERS OVER A
MULTITUDE OF SINS. Amen
( 1 PETER 4:8 )
*Does anyone else find this to be true of them, no matter what the circumstance, situation, place, etc. if they read a scripture, hear a word or read a daily spiritual read, it relates to them?*
