It's okay to feel angry or jealous, because these are emotions that we believe the Lord has given us. According to 1 Timothy 4:4, "Everything that God has created is good; nothing is to be rejected, but everything is to be received with thanksgiving." Anger is given to us because we are created in His image, if God can feel anger, then so can we; if God can feel jealous, then so can we. But when God becomes angry, He certainly uses it for good. That is why we need to know how to control our anger and use it properly.
How should anger be used?
Romans 12:9 says, "Love must be completely sincere. Hate what is evil; hold on to what is good."
How can we actually control our anger?
The Bible tells us to guard our hearts, because Psalm 36:1 states, "Sin speaks to the wicked deep in their hearts; they reject God and do not have reverence for him."
Sin speaks to the hearts of the wicked, as Hebrews 3:12 says: "Brothers and sisters, see to it that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God."
Proverbs 4:23 declares, "Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life."
We need to guard our hearts because everything starts with the condition of our hearts. It is up to us to make the effort to keep our hearts pure.
As we go through life, let us learn to be patient (matuto tayong magtiis).
Proverbs 19:11 says, "A person’s wisdom yields patience; it is to one’s glory to overlook an offense."
In Tagalog (Mga Kawikaan 19:11): "Ang kahinahunan ay nagpapakilala ng katalinuhan, ang pagpapatawad sa masamang ginawa sa kanya ay kanyang karangalan."
If you want peace, be careful with what you say, free yourself from anger, and live in peace.
