anger kills.......

anger kills.  it kills the one who is angry.  the words that are uttered by the one who is angry can kill the spirit of the recipient.  don't say or do anything in anger.  Jesus says in Matthew 5:22 that if you are angry at someone, you are already a murderer.  you hate.  you wish someone away.  you don't want them to be blessed.  you want bad things to happen to them.  how can you expect any Blessings from God if you don't wish Blessings from God on other people?  especially people that don't deserve it.  do you deserve God's Grace?  do you deserve Christ on a cross for you?  do you never do anything that might cause someone to really hate you?  do you want to be "murdered"?  

 

i am so guilty.  i have started to pray Blessings upon those who do not like me, and those who do not wish me well.  i am in the process of releasing every single person from my soul whom i might hold a grudge against, and as i am in this process, i am feeling a burden being lifted.  i am not carrying them around anymore.  they do not fill my thoughts.  their comings and goings do not affect my life.  if i see them in the street or drive past them - i can literally smile and wave, and wish them all the best.  it is wonderful.  i am praying that God will reveal to me all the people i need to really, really let go.  

 

remember, if you have made your peace with them, and they don't want to accept it or be free in return, that is their burden to carry.  we are not responsible for the actions of others - only our own.  if you KNOW that someone might have something against you - go and try to sort it out.  if they don't want to "kiss and make up" - let them (and the issue) - go.  as Paul said - if you get angry (and we all do) just don't sin.  don't dwell on the issue - don't even discuss it, just let it go! discuss it in a safe environment, share it once, deal with it, and let it be!  when we keep on repeating what someone has done to us, we keep the feelings and the incident alive.  we let it fester and we blow it up into such a big deal, that it sometimes start snowballing, and before we know it, everything is out of control.  

 

is it really so bad being the "least"?  no, it is wonderful - Jesus says in Matthew 5:5 "God blesses those who are humble, for they will inherit the whole earth".  so, it is actually a real gift to be able to say "i am sorry" - mean it, and move on.  you can't force acceptance of an apology either.  apologise - and leave it with the one you apologised to.  they need to decide what they are going to do with that.  the only relationship that you should worry about is your relationship with Jesus.  all other relationships will be healthy if you maintain your relationship with Him. 

 

don't kill.  xxxx
