ANGER🤬. I will leave it there, because before I can go further… I want to go back to when I first lost my legs. Two weeks in and feeling frustrated that just simply wanting to leave my room to roam the hospital halls… “Took an act of congress” now. Two therapists, a crane or “Hoyer”, and a wheelchair. It made me extremely angry. Unknowingly, that building of anger really defined me… but in a good way. Hard to see how, right?Â
You may initially think of anger as a sinful emotion and even feel guilty about feeling angry, but let’s look at anger from another perspective. First off… I can’t find anywhere in the Bible where anger is identified as a sin. The only verse close to saying that is Ephesians 4:26, BUT it tells us that anger can lead to sin if we allow it to control us. Anger, really, is a powerful productive tool as I see now. Well, so long as you’re up for the challenge of correctly managing it.Â
“Be angry, and do not sin”: do not let the sun go down on your wrath,”
