This verse has been speaking to me this morning as I recognize the negative impact I’ve been letting social media have on my heart. I speak for myself (although I know this is a human struggle for all) when I say that it’s so easy to take offense to what others are saying and want to speak my mind and let my messages be heard over others’. God has revealed this to me about myself recently and this verse serves as His gentle reminder to me that we as humans are incapable of loving well when we let our anger rule our hearts and minds. Anger definitely has its place in making positive change, and we are allowed to feel anger as it is usually a secondary emotion stemming from hurt or pain. But we are responsible for ourselves in how we respond to it. I am now striving to hear the anger (hurt and pain) of others before jumping to conclusions or making assumptions and I believe that some of my own anger (hurt and pain) will dissolve when I seek to see others above myself. 🖤
