“In your anger do not sin”:
Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold.
Ephesians 4:26-27 (NIV)
Lord, I see these verses play out way too often in my own life. When I verbally tussle with someone, it can sometimes escalate into a messy brouhaha. But when we forgive each other, it not only frees us but it almost seems like it releases a sweet fragrance between us to replace the foul one.
Help me, God. May the sun never go down on my anger, and may my forgiving spirit rise up to You as a pleasing aroma…
Questions for Pondering…
When have I held a grudge, and how did it make me feel?
Should I forgive even if the other person fails to? Why?
