Leaving the Anger Behind (The Better Way)

Ok. Be honest now. What gets you offended? How about when another driver does something down right inconsiderate – or even stupid? How about when things don’t go your way at work or school or on vacation? Or maybe when the mechanic doesn’t get your car fixed? Or maybe when your spouse does that thing again?..or maybe when your children do what they do? Or maybe because of all the stuff that is just NOT RIGHT everywhere you look? So, given all this, how often do you have an attitude of offense? Did you know when you look up the word, “offended” in a dictionary, it will invariably use words like “anger” or “resentment” in it’s definition? So, let me ask another question. How often do you have an attitude of anger? …And how’s that working for you? Today, Jesus gives us a better way to live.
