~ No to anger ~ Yes to Love. ~

There are lots of things that happen in Life that can cause disappointment or maybe even annoy You.

People can sometimes let You down or hurt You.

People can often say things that can be very unpleasant, or even rude and disrespectful to You.

Some people might push in front of You when You are Patiently Waiting in a queue.

People do Stupid things that can irritate You.

And there are far more serious things that people Do that can lead people to become 'angry'.

But You need to say 'No' to 'anger'.  

Quite often when people get annoyed or angry, they go into a 'bad mood' and they often take their 'bad mood' out on other People who haven't even done anything wrong.

By doing that they are being just as bad as the person who hurt them in the first place.

It Doesn't make the situation any Better.
It only makes things worse. 

You should 'Never' take out a 'bad mood' on someone for something that a different person did to You.

It's simply Not fair on that Person.
And it's definitely 'Not' the Way Jesus taught People to Live.

You will Feel a Lot Better and You will deal with situations a Lot Better when You put the 'Fruit of the Spirit' into Action in Your Life. 

Love,
Joy,
Peace,
Patience,
Kindness,
Goodness,
Faithfulness,
Gentleness,
Self-Control.

(Galatians 5:22-23).

These are the 'Qualities of Life' that God has 'Already' Given to You in Your Spirit.

Yes that means You have got 'Self-Control'. 

You can 'Control' How You Respond to a bad situation.

'Self-Control' is Already in Your Spirit.
You simply need to put it into Action.

Think of the 'Fruit of the Spirit' as a Delicious Fruit Salad
where all the Individual Fruits 'Harmonise' with Each Other to Create a 'Wonderful Way of Life'. 

Then when 'other people' do annoying or hurtful things to You, then You will simply 'Rise Above It'. 

Your 'Joy' and Your 'Peace' are more Valuable than being 'moody' and 'angry'.

Don't let others Sap Your 'Peace & Joy'. 

Live Your Life Positively and Lovingly.

That will Help You to Not get 'angry' when others Do wrongful things.
And it will Help You to Not go in a 'bad mood' with other People.

There's a 'Way' that You can Live like that. 
Jesus gave many Great examples by the 'Way' He Lived His Life.

Imagine how Jesus must have felt after He had Done all the Wonderful Caring, Loving things to Save & Heal Many people, and He Himself had done Nothing wrong, yet He was Treated like a criminal, and people Shouted 'Crucify Him'. 

That must have Seriously hurt Jesus. 

He could have got 'angry' and said 'Why should I bother hanging on a Cross for all these Ungrateful people that have hurt Me'.  

But He didn't.
He went through with the pain and suffering to Save All the 'Lost Souls' because of His Wonderful 'Love'.

Even as He hung on the Cross, He Didn't get 'angry' at the people.
Jesus knew that God will 'Deal' with people who Do evil and deceitful things.

Jesus put His Trust in God, and that gave Him 'Peace'.

So even in His pain, Jesus was able to have Mercy and Forgive.

That's Beautiful, That's Love.

That's how we should All Live, by the Wonderful example of the 
'Beautiful Human Character of Jesus'.

People can hurt and annoy,
But the 'Love of Jesus' Gives You 'Peace and Joy'.
