there're 7 deadly sins in the world.
recently, i've been encountering anger. and it caused me to realize how much a lack of self control i have over this sin. and how much lax i've given to anger :(
but to replace anger, i need patience with other people. i need to love others. i need to see things from different perspectives. i need to understand other people more. and to have these, i need the constant presence of God and the constant infilling of the Holy Spirit :)
so do fill free to speak the Word of God into my life if you see me being angry.
- i trade my ashes in for beauty
i wear forigveness like a crown
here at the gentle feet of mercy
i lay every burden down
at the foot of the cross -
family is such a troublesome affair.
i really do need to get rid of pet peeves too (e.g. being super irritated when i'm wrongly accused of doing something i didn't do. Jesus wasn't super irritated when this happened to Him. He saw beyond what was on the surface and looked into what the person really needed - be it correction, or the forgiveness of sins).
