Smiling At Your Anger



One should know that anger makes you ugly. To overcome anger the only answer is loving and kindness.(Prov.19:11) "Those with good sense are slow to anger,and it is their glory to overlook an offense." so control your temper. Don't let your anger control you.

When we feel angry,we should go back to our conscious and refrain from looking and listening to the person we think to be the source of our unhappiness. We don't need to do or say anything. As we go back,we should be aware that it is our anger that is making us suffer,not the other person.

(Eph.4:26-27) "Be angry but do not sin:do not let the sun go down on your anger,and do not make room for the devil." Pray for yourself. Pray for the person who is making you angry.Pray for the situation,pray that your heart will be softened and you will forgive.Pray that you can forgive the person making you angry.

(Ps.37:8) "Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath. Do not fret-it leads only to evil." As we see ourselves clearly, we know what to do and what not to do.The exhalation that follows will have the same effect.in anger,we tend to think of the other person as the source of our suffering.  We see evil in him or her. "He is cruel." "She oppresses me." "He wants to destroy me." In fact,it is our anger that destroys us.

(Luke.6:35) "But love your enemies,do good,and lend,expecting nothing in returns.Your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High: for he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. So,we must take good care of our anger. When a house is burning, we may first go into the house and try to put out the fire. It is too soon to go searching for the person who may have started the fire. 

(Col.3:8) "But now you must get rid of all such things-anger,wrath,malice,slander, and abusive language from your mouth".Loving your enemy-the every person who is hurt you.

(Matt:5:22) "But I say to you that if you are angry with a brother or sister,you will be liable to judgment; and if you insult a brother or sister, you will be liable to the council; and if you say,' you fool,you will be liable to the hell of fire." The motion of instant displeasure on account of something evil that presents itself to our view. It is an original susceptibility of our nature,just as love is,and is not necessarily sinful. 

Only loving kindness can take care of our anger,and only loving kindness can take care of the other person.Then only we can see one can really smile at your anger.
