Anger, a cancer within! Ephesians 4:26-27

Good morning all! God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED! 
    The last time in Ephesians 4 and 25 the topic was lying to each other and how this disrupts unity by causing conflicts and destroying trust.  Today, let us visit about anger.
    Ephesians 4:26-27 "And don't sin by letting anger control you. Don't let the sun go down while you are still angry, for anger give a foothold to the devil."
     The Bible does not tell us that we should not feel angry, but it points out that it is important to handle our anger properly.  If we vent our anger thoughtlessly it can hurt others and destroy relationships.  If bottled up inside, it can cause us to become bitter and destroy us from within.
    Paul tells us to deal with our anger immediately in a way that builds relationships rather than destroys them.  If we sit and dwell on our anger, the devil uses this as a tool against us and will soon divide us.
   Are you angry at someone right now?  What can you do to resolve your differences?  Do not let the day end without trying to mend your relationship.  Nothing is avoiding, not solving.  Anger is an itty bitty virus that eats us up internally and destroys many good things.  Anger is an internal cancer that only you and God can cure.  
    Take time to think about this. Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
