Anger

Matthew 5:39
"But I tell you, Do not resist an evil person . If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you."

Many times, we face criticisms, destructive, constructive, insults so on and so forth. And at many many times, we tend to react in a negative manner. Can we swallow the statements people make about us and not retaliate? Especially when it is all not true. Most of the time we retaliate, we plan the most evil ways to get back at people to get even. It is indeed difficult to turn the left cheek when someone wrongs us. We tend to get back to make ourselves feel better. Here's a verse from the bible, to guide and to remind us every time we face problems as such.

Ephesians 4:26
"In your anger do not sin": Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil the foothold.

Never ever give the devil the foothold in our lives.

Enjoy the rest of the week and Happy Holidays to all!
