“A quick-tempered man does foolish things…” Proverbs 14:17

We’ve all said or done things in anger, that once we’re out of the situation, we wish we could take back. Unfortunately, it’s like trying to put toothpaste back in the tube; it’s impossible. How much damage have words spoken in anger caused in your life?

The Bible tells us to think before we act or speak. By taking time to realize why we’re angry, and to focus on using words that will help the situation, we can use our tongue to bring healing, not more damage. It’s my goal to continue to learn how to not react in anger to things done or said that hurt me; but to act in love and show Christ’s love.

How do you think you could apply this in your life?
