Your Question:
What happens when love turns to anger?
Answer:
As a pastor, I've seen firsthand how love can turn to anger in relationships. When love remembers its own offenses and sins, it's easier to forgive and not constantly pick at others. However, when love forgets its own forgiveness and starts to keep a record of wrongs, it can lead to a cold and distant attitude. This can manifest itself in withdrawal, calculated rejection, or even feeling sorry for oneself. Anger often begins as a righteous judgment, but it can quickly turn into a stance against God. When we're angry, we're not just reacting to the situation, but also revealing more about our own heart. As a husband and father, I've seen how anger can dominate a person's life, leading to verbal abuse and pain for those around them. But when we acknowledge our own anger and its root causes, we can begin to transform it into a more peaceful and loving attitude. As a Christian, I believe that God's anger is a righteous response to moral evil, but human anger often gets in the way of our relationships and our relationship with God. When we're angry, we're not just hurting others, but also ourselves. We become blind to our own anger and start to see it as someone else's problem. But by recognizing our own needs and desires, and seeking to forgive and love others, we can transform our anger into a more peaceful and loving attitude.
