In a recent post, I lamented the fact that so many people had misunderstood me at the height of my illness. I overlooked the fact that the pain these people caused led me to seek answers, which improved my research skills and helped me realize I could use my writing skills to share what I learned with others.
Anger often obstructs our view of life’s blessings. Romans 8:28 says” And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.”
During my few days of anger, I became depressed and forgot that I now am pursuing my own goals instead of someone else’s for the first time in my life. Why should I be angry?
How do you overcome anger? “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report, if there be any virtue and if there be any praise, think on these things.” (Phil 4:8)
