13 January 2013 - Ephesians 4:26-27, 31-32

The passage starts "in your anger do not sin"
In Psalm 4:4 these words can also be found in
While angry, do not let the sun go down
If we give the devil a foothold, God will frown
"Get rid of all bitterness, rage, and anger" per verse 31
Brawling, slander, and malice - there should also be none
"Be kind and compassionate to one another"
Christ forgave us; we should forgive our brother
 
Dear God, my anger has been a major sin
It has allowed the devil's plans to often win
Things get said that cannot be undone
The same holds true for things I have done
Over time, apologies lose their actual value
It becomes hard for others to say "start anew"
 
The unknown poet has some serious thinking to do
So for a while, there will be no more poems to view
When there is such a flaw, it is wrong to write
For I have a very big battle I need to fight
Each of you is so very special to me
God's presence in you is plain to see
