"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." "be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you."
Ephesians 4:29 and 32
Something I'm striving for. Many a times I'm quick to expressing my anger quite openly. But I remember my dad saying that arguments happen because we want to win in the fight, and sometimes it's just not necessary if it becomes all about me me me. I struggle with this a quite a bit (but lesser now I believe). I feel like I'm being wronged if I don't make my point across, but I think what I have to learn is that making my point across may not be the best way to solve something because the focus is only on 'justifying myself'. I think if I stop and think about how my actions is to help the other person, my words and actions could turn out differently.
Love is really wonderful. It is the greatest of all, and the first step to preventing anger and all the other sins.
I got much more to learn.
