Anger Is Always One Letter Away From Danger.

What is a primary obstacle to transformation and freedom—to redemption, rescue, restoration, and renewal? Answer: An angry heart!

A major obstacle to overcoming the past is resentment. Many people harbor a silent fury about the things that hurt them. To be free from the power that the past holds over us, we must come to terms with any resentments we carry. Anger is always one letter away from danger.

Unresolved anger alienates life and eats at the soul. We go through life collecting our grievances, adding up our losses, rehearsing our injuries, nursing our wounds, and a slow-burning resentment grows into a steady fire that burns deep inside our souls.

In a strange way, this can often be our path of revenge. Unable or unwilling to take actual revenge, we nourish and cherish our resentment as a more subtle form of retaliation.

Depression and anxiety are often rooted in unresolved resentment.

Ephesians 4:26-27: Resolve anger daily.

Remember: One of Satan’s most effective tools of destruction is unchecked anger. For some people, it becomes a prison with a lifetime sentence.
