Tongue Series Part 2: The Voice Of Anger

Anger in the voice doesn't just develop out of nowhere.  Someone or some thing gives birth to the anger. I know and probably almost everybody has played the part of the one who makes the person angry and the one who has to suffer the harsh maybe abusive verbal or non-verbal consequences that result from the anger. Am I right? Yeah, I agree it's not too pleasant, for either of the two really. Sometimes, I think well, maybe I should pray that I wouldn't make people angry? Yeah,  I could do that.  I could till I turn blue in the face, but I don't think The Lord would allow that to happen. I will make people angry whether I want to or not and I will get angry at people.

First of all, I wanted  to share that I do not think it is ever the person's fault 100% the results that come out of the person who gets angry. Just like I can't pray to never get angry, we also can't ever pray we never make people mad,  They are both inevitable.  My personal thought is if someone makes me angry, I guess I have to be really quick to forgive. Now, that is definitely pretty difficult but, my heart is telling me right now that is what I should do.

What is the natural comeback I think people automatically get when someone ticks them off?  Perhaps, people would yell, possibly say some harsh or vulgar words, words that may truly be hurtful to the person and just make them feel lower than they are? I think that sounds about right. But, did you know The Lord doesn't want us to get so angry that we get to the point of such horrid actions! I know that The Lord really wants us to hold our tongues.  I guess the saying mothers teach about "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all" can be really useful and helpful right?

I could really hurt someone just by the words I say.  I hate doing that, but I know that is what results from having anger in my voice. Anger in the voice is a bad source of power that I was talking about in the previous writing. I know when I get anger in my voice, I kind of lose control of myself, because my anger is overpowering the good that is in me.  I actually believe it's the evil one whispering the worst in my ear, me listening to the words, and then giving birth to the sin of what being extremely angry can lead to.

I yell, scream, swear  and when it is all done. What? We probably feel kind of bad. Or, you may not. I have no idea.  Friends, I really do not like getting angry, and hope you don't as well.  I guess to reiterate and highly accentuate there definitely is power in the words you use, and when anger is behind those words, it can be disastrous. In the end of this series, I am gonna state how God feels about this and how he can help with this. Remember, I don't think he can erase anger from your life though.  But, also be mindful of how the words you use when you are angry truly can affect the other person or people on the other side. Spoiler! At the end of the series I will share some views and thoughts of others who used to really have a problem with anger and profanity but have been released from that "bad" power!
