Your Question:
What happens when love turns to anger in a chaotic world filled with noise and distractions?
Answer:
As I reflect on the chaos of our world filled with noise and distractions, I'm reminded of how love and anger can collide. When love turns to anger, it's like a storm brewing inside. Scripture reminds us that love is quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry (James 1:19). But when we're dominated by anger, it's like a burning fire that consumes us, causing us to lash out at those we love. My wife, Susan, has seen the destructive power of anger in our family. When I've given in to my rage, I've verbally abused our children, Joshua and Rebecca. But with her prayers and the guidance of Scripture, I've learned to control my anger. She's prayed for me to be controlled by the Holy Spirit instead of my emotions, and her prayers have paved the way for me to find strength and courage to alter my behavior. A gift in secret, like her prayers, can pacify anger and transform relationships. As a pastor, I've seen how anger can lead people down a path of destruction, causing them to become trapped in a vicious cycle of anger. But with God's help, it's possible to transform the angry person into a peacemaker, not just with their enemies, but also with their loved ones. By seeking forgiveness and reconciliation, we can break free from the weight of anger and live a life marked by love, peace, and joy. As I look at my family, I'm grateful for the lessons I've learned about controlling my anger and seeking to be a peacemaker, even in the midst of chaos.
