Forgiveness at Home

Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice.  And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ forgave you.  Ephesians 4:31-32

Sometimes it's easy to become angry with the people we love most, and sometimes it's hard to forgive them.  After all, we know that our family will still love us no matter how angry we become.  But while it's easy to become angry at home, it's usually wrong.

The next time you're tempted to lose your temper or to remain angry at a close family member, ask God to help you find the wisdom to forgive.  And while you're at it, do your best to calm down sooner rather than later because peace is always beautiful, especially when it's peace at your house.

When you lose your temper...you lose.
