Even people who genuinely love God have moments when their emotions get the better of them. Stress, arugments where harsh words are thrown around like daggers, difficult relationships, and even road rage. We've ALL had our moments. Friend, the goal isn't to pretend you never feel anger, to try and bury it. It's to learn how to respond to it in a way that honors God.
James 1:19–20 reminds us to be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry. Notice something there ? "slow". Spiritual growth is a CONTINUALPROCESS. Sometimes you'll handle a situation beautifully, and sometimes you'll recognize afterward that you could have handled it differently. Losing your temper can be frustrating, exhausting and even embarrassing. You feel like you showed out.You messed up a little too bad.It's over now. You put your foot in your mouth. Jesus heard what you said and is too disappointed in you. Friend, don't you dare let the enemy convince you that Jesus Christ's sacrifice was for nothing. You are not condemned. As a matter of fact , your shortcomings were expected. What matters is what you do next ! Get this 👇🏽
Let conviction draw you closer to Jesus, not push you away from Him.There is a difference between saying, "Lord, I didn't handle that well. I acknowledge that I can't follow the rules perfectly, Please help me grow and learn from this" and saying, "Lord, I've failed You. Maybe I'm not who I should be".
The first mimdset opens your heart to transformation. The second can leave you trapped in shame.You can acknowledge your mistakes without defining yourself by them. If you hurt someone, you can apologize and make things right you're not apologizing to make yourself feel or look better.You're apologizing because of God's mercy. If you lost your temper privately, you can ask God to help you understand what was happening inside you.You don't have to punish yourself emotionally to prove that you're sorry.
Remember, Jesus came to save and restore imperfect people, not to wait for perfect people to come to Him.You don't have to wait until you feel worthy, until you've fixed everything, or until you have the perfect words to pray. COME AS YOU ARE.
