Please tell me why????

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

Angry people - why?
I can not tell you enough - or come up with adequate words to describe just how completely unattractive they are.
I would truly like to understand - I mean truly understand - why they are so very angry - and all the time. Also I would like to know the reason why these angry people feel they are so justified in being so angry.
I want to understand because (plain and simple) I am sick and tired of all the anger. Every day. Everywhere I go. Anger.  For no apparent reason. Anger. I start my day off with a spring in my step and a song in my heart. Off to work I go and first call I get (sometimes before I actually have a chance to answer a call) in comes the screaming anger. Literally yelling - at me - over their issue - their mistake. Vular verbiage unfit for a drunken sailor being spewed from their mouth at me. Wow. So unattractive.

It's not just at work either. It's everywhere. One would think it's people lost and without God.
Yeah, that's it! ummmm, nope. You see, I see the anger in my siblings in Christ too. Sadly, this is true.

I can honestly say I do not know the circumstances that have spawned so much anger. We all live such different lives. It can be so many different things for each person. It can be unresolved grief gnawing away at your heart or unforgiveness deep inside. It could be fear. Fear of anything these days. Fear of losing one's economic security to a loved one or health. There are so many different circumstances  that can underwrite the emotion of anger.  We may not know ourselves why we feel so hostile.

Still, in this uncertainty there is  one thing I do know for sure.  What we all need to calm the fear and alleviate the anger!

We need 

Love  - Forgiveness - Joy

Choose Love

Choose Forgiveness

And

Joy Will Come

This is a recipe. A very special recipe. Which needs all all three ingredients to work just right.

Here's why. 

If we have love, then we can have, give and live forgiveness. Then the joy will come.

I truly believe (and have learned by life experience this to be truth)  that is needed to rid our lives of so much anger.

Shalom
