Actually, I been dealing with Anger, I had a friend or someone I thought I was building a relationship with call me up and tell me that she cut me off and that she does not consider me a friend. I was so shocked, I could not really defend myself. When the dust settled she wasn't my friend anymore, because she felt that I did not call her enough. I did call her but spoke to her answering machine, she never ever called me, nor did she speak with me at service. I was devastated by the call and then I was angry. I was angry because I let my guard down and let her become my friend and let her into my home and around my family. I believed she loved God. so I been steaming and I wanted a chance to tell her how I felt but she came over to me and apologize for being rude and very nasty on the phone which I had no choice but to accept the apology but I was angry that she apologize, I was angry that she did it in the sanctuary and that again I was not able to speak my peace. Anger if you let it can take over, I started to notice things about her that I never did before and now when I speak of her Its not nice. Its not mean but its not what I use to say. for instance, I never cared about what she wore, I never liked what she wore but thats her thing. you know, who cares, but after that incident it was more magnified. So now I am heading into sin.
I have to give it to God everyday until I realize that there really isn't anything I can do about it. What does she care how I feel now and what my concerns were regarding our situation. I would feel better if I got it off my chest, not really. I feel that would be a reason to argue and for what I no longer desire to repair the relationship. what is the point, Only God understands my pain really, I am not even sure why I am so angry. So I read something and repeat it often until I am not mad anymore and its everyday. I felt that she thinks she got the better of me, I am more standoffish I am friendly but I don't get that close to folks so that they can hurt me to my heart and I did with her and that annoys me. But God knows me better and knows I have to let it go. Be the loving person I am to others including her. I knew I was a very good friend to her and one day she will see that but for now she can't see past her anger and she isn't walking with God she is walking with the other and I can't carry that. I have to let it go. We would have never made it as friends I am not good talking to an answering machine every week and being ignore in church. No that isn't me. Being ignore period. But I was making excuses for it and finally called and asked what was going on.
Anyway, here is some scriptures to help you see that anger can take over your life, We don't want that we want to realize what it is and let it go. Let God deal with it. My issue has only been about a week and it has gotten better and better. It is getting easier and easier to forgive and forget.

Ephesians 4:26-31
"In your anger do not sin": Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold. He who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with his own hands, that he may have something to share with those in need. Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice.
