Three hearts that love us as one, The Father, The Son, The Holy Spirit
Do you get angry? In the scripture below Jesus is saying to us that being angry may cause us to sin. So much so that even though we may not take someone elses life we may be in danger of taking our own. Being angry may be a sin that causes us to kill ourselves through selfish anger that will keep us from growing into who God calls us to be. Our Savior is trying to let us know that being angry is against everything He teaches. His way is a way of love and peace. Don’t let the sun go down on your anger or better yet learn how to forgive before you get angry.
There is one exception to anger. When we see people starving, abuse of our brothers and sisters in this world, abortion done as birth control or rampant disease it a good thing for us to feel angry. This is a righteous anger that God wants us to have so that we will be driven to reach out to those who are suffering.
Think about your anger issues. You know those things that really push your buttons. Get a grip on those things and life will be better. It is a promise our Savior gives us.
Love is what Jesus is all about. Valentines Day is a good day for us to practice loving.
Have a great day filled with God’s Peace and Blessings, have a happy Valentines Day by loving your God and your neighbor,

Matthew 5:21-30,
5:21 “You have heard that it was said to those of ancient times, ‘You shall not murder’; and ‘whoever murders shall be liable to judgment.’
5:22 But I say to you that if you are angry with a brother or sister, you will be liable to judgment; and if you insult a brother or sister, you will be liable to the council; and if you say, ‘You fool,’ you will be liable to the hell of fire.
5:23 So when you are offering your gift at the altar, if you remember that your brother or sister has something against you,
5:24 leave your gift there before the altar and go; first be reconciled to your brother or sister, and then come and offer your gift.
5:25 Come to terms quickly with your accuser while you are on the way to court with him, or your accuser may hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the guard, and you will be thrown into prison.
5:26 Truly I tell you, you will never get out until you have paid the last penny.
5:27 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’
5:28 But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
5:29 If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away; it is better for you to lose one of your members than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.
5:30 And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away; it is better for you to lose one of your members than for your whole body to go into hell.
