James 1:19
"My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry"
One thing people usually notice after spending a certain amount of time with me is that I have a temper. A bad one too. I fight, cuss, and/or break anything in my sight when I'm angry. Usually when I get mad my fury only lasts a few minutes and soon you'll see my smiling and laughing again.
This catches a lot of people off guard, because while me having a fit was normal to me, in that moment I could've hurt someone's feelings without noticing. This is why I try and practice what this Bible verse tells me, "be slow to become angry."
Today at school was very hard for me and I definetely was not slow to anger, but now when I'm calm I start to regret some of my actions and words that I had done while I was angry. When this happens I usually pray for forgiveness and strength to be able to be slow to anger.
We've all been mad at one point of our lives, so you're not alone. It is a perfectly normal human emotion to feel, but it is also a very powerful one. Therefore we should practice controlling it, before we hurt not only others around us, but ourselves.
