Is It Really Worth It
Prov. 15:18 A hot-tempered person stirs up conflict, but the one who is patient calms a quarrel.
Losing ones temper causes a lot of trouble, but staying calm settles arguments.
You stand before every conflict that flares up in your life with two containers in your hands. One is filled with gasoline the other is filled with water. Now, you can by what you say, keep the anger fire burning. Or you can by what you say,put it out. Which do you use most, gas or water? Why?
Eph. 4:2 -Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.
Be humble and gentle, be patient with each other, making allowance for each others faults because of your love.
Your friends are not perfect. The people at work are not perfect. Your kids are not perfect. Your spouse is not perfect. You are not perfect either. So lighten up! Whose faults bother you more yours or others and Why?
Boy as I read these it is something I have to keep in mind all the time. I often think of James chapter 3 at times like this.
