LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO BE ANGRY

By: Linda Kirby/WGON

Is there an “I love you” that you are holding back because someone made you angry? Is there an “I’m sorry” you are holding back because you can’t admit you were wrong? Or is there an “I forgive you” you aren’t saying because of pride or pain? Time is short. You don’t know if that person or you will be here another day. Don’t waste a moment in saying the important things that need to be said for we are not promised tomorrow. Jesus said, "Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your anger" (Ephesians 4:26). Cherish those around you. Time is too short to let words or actions get in the way. Love one another as Jesus loved us: He loved us no matter how much we sinned. He even gave His life for us. The least we can do is love, forgive, and apologize when we are wrong. Thank the Lord for giving you those who are a blessing to you. No one is perfect, least of all ourselves, so why expect perfection from others? Remember that when things get difficult in your life. Don’t let anger or hurt feelings take a moment of love away from you. James 4:14 reminds us, “Yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes.”
