Who are you mad at?

Who are you mad at? Are you mad at the person you are taking your anger out on? If not, then why don’t you deal with that person, not take it out on someone else. We all are so free to attack everything but the issue we really need to attack. We get so caught up in redirecting our anger; we begin to believe this is the only way to act. Our status quo has taught us, we are not required to deal with the issue at-hand and we can redirect: wrong!. This becomes a problem when we desire to serve the Lord. Why do you ask, because He asked for it all. See, He is looking and desiring for you to give it all. He is looking for the destitute heart, so he can give prosperity; the broken spirit, so he can give wholeness, and the ill-fitted life so you can see His amazing grace fall fresh and know it is for you. Instead, we stay bottleneck with anger, battling the empty punching bag only exhausting ourselves as we build the anger muscle. Wondering why I have to keep fighting the same battles. Anger, like revenge comes back to us exponentially, when we send it out to others. See the problem with anger is we are angry with ourselves, and until we can start with self, we can never let go of anger toward any one else. Unresolved issues of our past, present, color our communication in more ways, than we think, and are the ghosts that hunt our future. As they dictate our response, and the manifestation becomes readily apparent for all to see. But since we live in the cloak and dagger world of fraud-reality, we do not see it.Deal with who you are mad at, not redirect it.

Who are you mad at? Deal with them, do not let it build up and explode on someone else; it never turns out well or productive for no one. Anger according to dictionary anger is nothing but negativity in definition; from its origin, it means to vex, distress, anguish, strangling, torment, affliction, etc. Yet, we are so consumed with our anger and feelings, we cannot see, the amazing grace being sent our way. The unending love waiting in the wings for us to embrace because it is already there, and the redemptive mercy holding us, we do not acknowledge it arms. Do not get me wrong, I am not saying do not get angry but I am saying live, learn, do not dwell, but communicate. It was never meant to be worn as a badge honor because it is not. No matter the outcome, when we deal with it, at least you have one less bag to carry on your already over-laden metaphorical spirit. In the book Tuesday with Morrie by Mitch Albom there is this quote – Education is a lifelong journey whose destination expands as you travel. Because really, if you really do know better, education, it should expand your horizon as well as the lens you see life through. Too bad we are not willing to seek because it requires us to change; what we have done, and are doing in our lives. Who are you mad at? You only have peace when you have all the pieces, and are honest with yourself…You choose!..

Ecc. 7:9 Do not be eager in your heart to be angry, for anger resides in the bosom of fools. (NASB)....It is not easy, but it is worth!!
