How to Move Through Suffering and Come Back Stronger Day 5


Ephesians 4:26

God doesn't state that we should put aside anger since it's a quality that can moves us to make great changes, He does however command that we should handle it properly. I'm not the worst person I know regarding anger issues but I do have a history of being careless with it. It was quite costly to make up for. I think above anger, my biggest sin is bitterness. I may forgive but I'm not forgetful in the least and I'm working on it. Something that does drive me to evangelise is my frustration of the lack of action I see around me. I see many christians who just hang around their christian friends and their christian cliques laughing at their terrible christian humour going to their christian events being content with their comfortable christian lifestyle. While I believe evangelism is good (and certainly commanded in one form or another) I think my motivation can be crippling. There are people from last years mission team who I'm bitter towards rn because they haven't reached out to some of those weaker in the faith in Cheil. We read 3 books before leaving for Cape Town explicitly reminding us of the reality of hell so why is such little effort put in? I'm bitter. I should stop being bitter but my conscious states that it is justified. This is not helpful. God help me.
