ANGER

Anger is one of the seven deadly sins.   The seven deadly sins are as such because they are a constant battle daily, to living a holy and reighteous life.   

The sins are:

1)Pride

2) Lust

3)Anger

4)sloth

5)gluttony

6)Envy

7)Greed

Though all these sins are difficult to bare, perhaps anger is the most difficult.   The spirit filled with anger can destroy a life-time of love and adoration.    This ‘evil’ is the tool of the devil.    For when one choose to hold tight to his or her anger, one chooses to stand with the devil and oppose God.
To oppose God in clear conscious is an out-right choice to comitt a mortal sin.   It is so hurtful to the love of God that it pierces the very heart of God; defying His perfect love and perfect grace instituted through the life, death, and resurrection of His only beloved Son, Jesus Christ.  

Anger, an emotion that is unavoidable in our lives is not so much the sin, as the refusal  of the    desire to ask for forgiveness, and loosen oneself from the claims of the devils hold on us.    So deadly is the cunning of the devil, that he knows our very weakest of points.  He pounces when we do not hold fast to prayer, and the love of God.   For it is the ‘flesh’ of us that causes us to deny ourselves the humility of our shortcomings-sin!   Sin is and it will always be.   It is and only will be washed away by the ‘blood of the Lamb of God’!   There are no other means, no other ‘sacrifices, and no other excuses!   Whether humility is of the liking to us or not; Jesus did it first and asks no less of each of us

As Anger plunges us into separation from the love of God, it also causes us to  progress into the other six deadly sins.   Upon refection, one can recognize that they feed unto each other.  For as one becomes angry and refuses to forgive, whereby holding a life-long grudge.    Then  ‘Pride’ emerges, for ‘ why should I be the one to forgive first’?   This thinking is common today.  I have heard far to many stories of, estranged siblings, parent to their children, and brother against brother, even broken marriages, because of anger, pride, and that leading to the envy of the other.    It is most disturbing to think people believe ‘peace’ is refusal to make amends.   Yet, it is indeed the case.   Many have not spoken for years.    After the passing of to much time, the desire and the infiltrateing of the other sins move in as well.  ‘ I don’t have the time!’   Again, another sin, Greed.   ‘My time is too prescious.’  All the reasons far to many for all the sins in all the world.  Yet, it is the core to our sinful, lustful, covetous, prideful, greedy, gluttonous, envious, and slothfulness that brings us to self-destruction!    God is about the soul of each of us.  His desires, are so above us we can not comprehend such love.  Yet, He still perseveres loving each of us to the last breathe we take.   Waiting to see if we desire to love Him as completely as He loves us.   Or at least endeavoring to do so.   For that is everything!   For when talking of love, does it not feed our very souls to know we are so loved?   It is everything.   We love each other for the ‘love of God’!   Yet, it means giving of ourseves, in our desire to be ‘God-like’ and pleasing to Him!   He has layed the foundations of our lives, and has showed us how to build upon it.  It is up to each of us to follow His command.   Anything less, and we will crash and burn!
