Breaking through the Surface

Today's Verse

"Be angry but do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger and do not make room for the devil." – Ephesians 4:26-27

Here is something you never really hear, "It's okay to get angry. It's okay to be mad at your friend or loved one." There is truth in that statement, and scripture tells us that it is okay to be angry, mad, or upset. Feeling this way in itself is not necessarily wrong, it is the actions we take when those emotions surface in our hearts. When we hold on to them for too long, we lose control and they get the best of us. We need to work through our emotions when they surface. It is never easy to admit you were hurt, but the reality is those feelings only come when you've been hurt in some way or another. Don't let another day go by with that hurt still intact. - Commentary by: Matthew J. Elliott

Today's Prayer

Father God, I need to let go of the hurts that I have experienced in life. Your word tells me it's okay to be upset, but sometimes my actions truly do get the best of me. Today, I pray that I can overcome those feelings. Amen.
