The Voice For Love

A MAN'S WISDOM GIVES HIM PATIENCE; IT IS TO HIS

    GLORY TO OVERLOOK AN OFFENCE.

                         ( PROVERBS 19:11 * NIV )

 

         Sometimes we may let the actions of another cause

   us to lose control of our temper.  Before we do, it is

   important to remember that; AN ANGRY MAN STIRS UP

   DISSENSION, AND A HOT-TEMPERED ONE

   COMMITS MANY SINS. ( PROVERBS 29:22 )  FOR AS

   CHURNING THE MILK PRODUCES BUTTER, AND AS

   TWISTING THE NOSE PRODUCES BLOOD, SO

   STIRRING UP ANGER PRODUCES STRIFE.

   ( PROVERBS 30:33 )

 

       After all, MY DEAR BROTHERS, TAKE NOTE OF THIS:

   EVERYONE SHOULD BE QUICK TO LISTEN, SLOW TO

   SPEAK AND SLOW TO BECOME ANGRY, FOR MAN'S

   ANGER DOES NOT BRING ABOUT THE RIGHTEOUS

   LIFE THAT GOD DESIRES.  ( JAMES 1:19-20 )

 

       So the next time that someone treats you wrongly turn it

   over to God to handle, and do not lose your temper or try

   to get even with them.  FOR WE KNOW HIM WHO SAID, "IT

   IS MINE TO AVENGE; I WILL REPAY," AND AGAIN, "THE

   LORD WILL JUDGE HIS PEOPLE." ( HEBREWS 10:30 )

 

       Therefore, try your best to keep your words soft

   and sweet.  For we never know from day to day which words

   we'll have to eat!  Also remember; ABOVE ALL, LOVE EACH

   OTHER DEEPLY, BECAUSE LOVE COVERS OVER A

   MULTITUDE OF SINS.  Amen
