33 Bible Verses To Remember That Will Help You Control Your Temper!
We can feel a lot of emotions at once as human beings. Anger or wrath is one of them. It’s associated with uncontrolled feelings of bitterness, rage, anger, or even hatred. It is one of the seven deadly sins, according to the Word of God, which means it produces only death, not life. When we are hot-tempered in some situations, we notice afterward, that we use harsh words, loud voices, malice, or slander. We sin with tongue and with deeds. But if we look at God and what He thinks about our wrath, we will find that God Who gave everything to have us in His peace and love, desires us to be free from all bitterness in our hearts.
To feel Him closer we need to let go of all anger, brawling, and slander because God’s presence is the source that keeps us alive. Getting rid of all these sins, will help us become a better version of ourselves.
Anger does not produce the righteousness that God demands. If we are easily angered or irritated, we must repent for our quick temper, harsh words, or deed. We should denounce or condemn all forms of malice, slander, or rage.
We need to ask the Holy Spirit to open our eyes to see where is the root of our anger and where is the wound that’s still deep and open, and hurts so much.
Who do we need to forgive and do we need acceptance of God’s forgiveness and Love again, in order to forgive ourselves?
We shall notice that nothing is possible without God, because He is the Only One Who is ABLE to change or produce a change in us.
“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; APART FROM ME you can do nothing.
– John 15:5
We just need to understand why and what is happening; in other words, we need to hear His voice and His revelations about how He will guide us into changing and renewing our minds to think as He desires.
Self-control or control over these types of emotions is a fruit of the Holy Spirit. Those who pray will find the Face of God and heal from the deepest wounds in their lives.
