Your Question:

What happens when love turns to anger in our daily routines when life gets busy?

Answer:

As a pastor and a husband, I've seen firsthand how love can turn to anger in our daily routines when life gets busy. It's easy to let the little things get under our skin and before we know it, we're reacting out of anger rather than love. This is especially true when we're not taking the time to listen to each other and work through our issues. As the Bible says, "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs" (1 Corinthians 13:4-5).

When love turns to anger, it can be a heavy burden to carry. It's like a weight that's always there, distracting us from the things that truly matter. As the passage says, "Anger and fury/wrath too channel our energy away from building relationships" (Proverbs 4:4). This can lead to a breakdown in communication and a sense of disconnection from our loved ones. I've seen this happen in my own marriage, and it's a hard thing to overcome. But I've also seen the power of love and forgiveness to heal and restore relationships.

As a family, we've learned to take our anger and frustration to Jesus daily, asking for redemption and guidance. We've also made a commitment to listen to each other and work through our issues in a healthy way. It's not always easy, but it's worth it. As the Bible says, "Be holy, because I am holy" (Leviticus 11:44). When we imitate God's love and forgiveness, we can overcome even the most difficult challenges and build strong, loving relationships.
