_*SPIRITUAL FOCUS: LETTING GO OF ANGER.*_
“In your anger do not sin: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do notgive the devil a foothold.” — Ephesians 4: 26 — 27.
Anger, when left unchecked, becomes a barrier to forgiveness. Ephesians 4: 26 — 27 warnsus not to allow anger to fester, as it gives the devil an opportunity to work in our lives.Holding onto anger poisons our hearts and keeps us from experiencing peace. When wehold onto grudges, we not only hurt the person we are angry with, but we also hurtourselves. Anger leads to bitterness, resentment, and isolation. To forgive, we must firstlet go of anger. This doesn’t mean we forget the hurt or condone the wrong; it means wechoose peace over pain and grace over bitterness. Letting go of anger is a decision thatbrings freedom and allows us to offer forgiveness with a clear heart.
