Word of Encouragement for Every New Day ~ 27 Oct 2007

Ephesians 4:26 In your anger do not sin: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry. What pushes your buttons? What makes you angry? Some of us naturally have a quick temper, it is the slightest thing, the smallest issues and we get all fired up and hot. I know that I am guilty of having a quick temper. The interesting thing about human nature is that the closet people in our lives get the bulk of our anger, temper, and all the other fun stuff because they see the true colors. God’s put these people in our lives, He purposed these relationships, and yet constantly we fight, get irritated, and frustrated at them over the smallest issues. Once again I know that I am guilty of this. Everyday is a test. To say that everyday I will not get angry, I will not get irritated, and I will not show my quick temper to those that I love, Don’t lie to yourself. We have got to accept ourselves and others. We ALL make mistakes! Let us desire the ability to be quick to forgive and learn from our mistakes. Everyday is a test, especially the fruits of the Spirit. I hope on a daily bases and even when we are faced with the test, we would memorize and have these 9 FRIUTS EMBEDED IN OUR HEARTS, MINDS, AND SOULS. Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. The first fruit is love, how can we say we have all the other fruits of the spirit in us if we first do not love? Let us turn on our alarm, turn on the discernment button that makes us aware when we are getting angry and be quick to apologize and ask for forgiveness. © Oct 2007 Shaun Lee
