Greetings in the name of the Lord friends! Last April 19, i was so upset and made a blog for that.. I did not update my blog for the past few days because i cannot concentrate. I was asking the Lord to cleanse me and put back the joy that Satan was trying to steal from me..My other friends were asking what’s happening with me.. Kilala nyo ako, masayahin.. I thought that after what she did before she will stop, but she did not..huhuhuhu..Some of my friends knew the reason why i was so upset.. I called my Inay also to tell her about it and also with my Precious Annie.. My husband and my inlaws told me not to think about that girl because she doesnt know me.. And thanks for all my friends that really know who is the real MELODY.. I never met a person like her in my whole life.. Oh she really broke my heart, di nya kilala ang Diyos na sinasaktan nya, nasaktan ako dahil ang Lord na ang sinasaktan nya mahal na mahal ko ang Panginoon at ayokong may tao na may sasakit sa Kanya, ok lang na ako ang saktan nya huwag lang nya idamay ang Pangalan ng Diyos.. Im making this blog once again for the person who did it. (ATE, I hope you will read this, i hope na makilala mo ako ng lubusan at nawa mabasa mo lahat ng mga sinusulat ko para mas makilala mo ang Panginoon..i want you to know that you hurt me so bad but praise the Lord, i realized na nagawa mo yun dahil nakikita mo ang kabutihan ng Diyos sa buhay ko..Nagkakamali ka po kung inaakala mong galit ako syo, dahil yung galit na yun ay pinalitan ng Panginoon ng pagkaawa.. Naawa ako syo dahil masyadong matigas ang puso mo para sa Panginoon..Dalangin ko na nawa ay buksan ng Panginoon ang puso mo….)
Everybody gets angry. We know that we all have sin natures that have areas of strength and weakness. You may be strong where I am weak, and vice-versa. So it may be that you would never think of committing a particular sin that I might be having a great deal of trouble with. But, in one way or another everyone has problems with anger. Sometimes the anger is a quiet, see thing resentment or indignation at some large or small offense, real or imagined. The Bible describes anger as a sin - a sin of mental attitude. As a sin, anger expresses antagonism, exasperation, indignation, resentment, outrage. Anger usually produces an emotional feeling, but the feeling is not the anger. The thought pattern which produced the feeling is the sinful anger. Impersonal love is a result of Christian growth and allows believers to have a regard for even the most obnoxious people that does not depend on their character or behavior. But you know what Ate through you, marami akong nalaman at natutunan..It is righteous indignation that allows God to be "angry" about sin but to love us anyway. His love for us depends on His character, not on ours.
Characteristics of Sinful Anger
* Anger is sin from the sin nature. Gal. 5:19-21, "Now the deeds of the flesh [sin nature] are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these…"
* Anger is related to foolishness. Eccl. 7:9, "Do not be quick to be angry in your heart, for anger resides in the bosom of fools."
The Bible defines a fool as a person without wisdom. He may be a genius, but his thinking is from human viewpoint. He thinks and acts apart from God’s standards and controls. The paramount fool (and the beginning of foolishness) is the person who has "said in his heart, There is no God."
Look at Romans 1:18-31 for a detailed description of the results of deliberately turning away from God. A fool is on a rapid downward slide towards destruction, both in this life and the one to come. In the list of terrible sins which characterize the ungodly are several which are either causes or results of anger.
*Anger is associated with grieving the Holy Spirit. Eph. 4:30-31, "And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. And be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you." Notice the contrast here between conditions of anger and the results of impersonal love.
*Anger is a violation of the Christian’s code of conduct as a member of the Body of Christ. Col. 3:8,9, "But now you also, put them all aside: anger, wrath, malice, slander, {and} abusive speech from your mouth. Do not lie to one another, since you laid aside the old self with its {evil} practices"
* Anger hinders effective prayer. 1 Tim. 2:8, "Therefore I want the men in every place to pray, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and dissension."
*Anger is always accompanied by other sins. Prov. 29:22, "An angry person stirs up strife, and a hot tempered person abounds in transgression."
Anger promotes the sins of gossip, self-righteous judging, maligning, revenge, complaining, bitterness, and many others. Heb. 12:15, "See to it that no one comes short of the grace of God; that no root of bitterness springing up causes trouble, and by it many be defiled."
* Anger makes a person his own worst enemy; he brings misery upon himself. Prov. 22:8, "He who sows iniquity will reap vanity, And the rod of his fury will perish." The uphappiness comes from many sources: failure to be occupied with Christ, failure to maintain a relaxed mental attitude, failure to be controlled by the Holy Spirit, thus, failure to grow in Christ. Lack of growth means lack of joy, lack of love, lack of divine viewpoint.
*Anger promotes jealousy and cruelty. Prov. 27:4.
*Anger causes misery for loved ones, friends, and community. Anger destroys a nation. Prov. 21:19; 22:24; 24:25; 29:22. Amos 1:11, "Thus says the Lord, "For three transgressions of Edom and for four I will not revoke its {punishment}, Because he pursued his brother with the sword, While he stifled his compassion; His anger also tore continually, And he maintained his fury forever."
Here’s what i did ate para tuluyang mawala ang galit ko syo;
I recognized the sin of anger and confess to the Lord when I become angry. "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." I John 1:9. This way you will maintain your walk with the Lord and be controlled (filled) by the Holy Spirit.
God told me to:
Continue to "grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ." Forgiveness is an important part of grace being used by a believer. The more you are oriented to God’s plan of Grace, the more adept you will be at using the assets He provides. Practice trusting ME, Anak…and the Lord says, "Cast your care on Me, because I care for you." When you are in bad situations, tell the Lord about it and let Him handle it.
Oh God, I thank You for this person in my life who seem to bring more pain than joy, for I believe You have let our paths cross for important reasons. Thank You for the good things You want to do in my life through the things that bother me( her irritating habits, her unloving ways, her unrealistic expectations). I’m grateful that You are with me, to meet my needs when others -fail to do so. Im glad that You are also within me, working to make me more like Jesus-more patient, more gentle, more loving- through the very things I dislike. Thank You too that You love this person, and that Your love is adequate to meet her deep needs, and transform her life, however willfull or unwise she may sometimes be. Thank You that You care for her deeply, and for the potential of being a vast reservoir from which You could receive eternal pleasure. And so, though I may not feel grateful, I give thanks for her by faith, trusting Your goodness. Your wisdom, Your power, and Your love for her as well as for me. And I praise You that I need not fret about her, or be envious, or mull over angry thoughts to prove Im right. Thank You that by Your power I can receive her as You receive me…just as I am, warts and wrinkles and hangups and all…that I can choose not to judge her, but to forgive her.. to cancel any debts I feel she owe me-any apologies, any obligations…that through Your grace, I can choose to wipe clean any slate of grievances I have within me, and to view her with a heart that says, "YOU NO LONGER OWE ME A THING, ATE". Thank You for Your Spirit who empowers me, so that I can do her good, delight in You, and commit my way to You, resting in You and You unfold Your good purpose in these relationships-in YOUR time Oh God! I know that You heard the cry of my heart Lord for this person, may she give her life unto You too and she will be a person with a heart that is ready to understand the true meaning of YOU Oh God! I love her Oh God, and I know Lord You will work in her life in Your special way.. I trust in Your name oh God.. In Jesus name I pray.. Amen..
in Your Hands,
sis melody
