There have been times in my life when my anger and harsh words have hurt others deeply. The Lord finally got my attention and showed me a pattern to follow:
Ephesians 4:29-32.
When I read your request, tears came to my eyes, and the above words came out of my mind into the computer.
This is what I hear God saying:
--Don't grieve the Holy Spirit by using words that do not build up
--with God's help, get rid of negative actions and attitudes
--always be kind and tender-hearted toward others
--forgive others who wrong you, just as God through Christ forgives you.
--apply this in all the relationships in your life
Here is a link to Ephesians4:29-32 if you would like to read these verses.
