♕ Today's Promise: "Whoever is patient has great understanding, but one who is quick-tempered displays folly." Proverbs 14:29
~ Mercy in South Africa
Whilst I was busy with the translations of the Men's RYM (Restore Your Marriage) book. I was translating the Chapter "The Angry Man". Herein Erin explains how a persons anger, it goes for both men and women and I myself am guilty of this, can destroy relationships especially those with whom we are the closest. In the Chapter Erin asks 'Do our children stay outside when you are around? " Where are your teenage children? Not at home? Because of you and your anger issues. Maybe your wife/husband is also not around and not necessarily because of infidelity, it can also be because of the way you have been treating them. Because of the fear that you have instilled in them.
Which brings me to a testimony I would like to share. I had a somewhat strained relationship with a friends daughter. Because I felt that she always had a lot of time for her aunt and not for her own mom or dad. I never really understood WHY she had such a close relationship until one day she paid a visit .
I believe my HL (Heavenly Love) orchestrated the whole thing so that I could understand and later write a testimony :). It had never happened that the two of us would be completely alone until this day. She started talking about her aunt and I remarked that yes you have a very close relationship with her. She then opened up and told me about the way she grew up. How her parents never had money for her or her siblings to go on excursions or even tuck at school (but here was always money for alcohol). So then her aunt would always pay.
She told me that she had a terrible childhood with her parents fighting all the time and how it was so bad that the police were called out a few times and she would then be sent away to her aunt. She told me how she was always embarrassed by her parents fighting when her friends came over. So that when she matriculated she left immediately to go stay with her aunt.
So if you are in a situation where you have a volatile situation in the home. Pray to our HL (Heavenly Love) about it. Ask Him to bring peace into your home. Pray every morning and ask God for peace in your home for that day. Then tomorrow morning do the same thing and believe me it works. I too have experienced volatility in my life. That is how I know that prayer works and WILL change the situation. I thank my HL that He has brought peace into my situation. I pray that He will also bring peace in your situation if you are living this hostility.
"The Lord is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love." Psalms 145:8
Let us strive to be more like Him, more of Him less of Us.
"Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord." Ephesians 6:4
The consequences of exasperating your children/ and or wife or husband or anyone for that matter. Is heartbreaking, relationships become strained or non-existent.
"Whoever is patient has great understanding, but one who is quick-tempered displays folly." Proverbs 14:29
Patience is learned ask your HL (Heavenly Love) to give your more patience to help you, your quick-temperedness will only bring remorse and sorrow.
