Parents and Kids Daily Devotional "This Is Living"Sample

It is human to feel angry or upset at those who made a mistake or hurt our feelings. It is also impossible to remain patient every time someone treats us unpleasantly. However, the Word of God today teaches us to not let the sun go down while we are still angry. What does this mean? God wants us to learn not to hide our anger, but instead learn to calm down and forgive.

Is that easy? Of course not.

The key is to remember that God will never leave us. He sees everything. He is able to convert the bad things into good, as long as our heart is right with God.

We are actually hurting ourselves when we suppress our anger. If you feel angry or upset, learn to be open with your feelings. Ask God to help you. Tell the other person how you feel and forgive him/her. Then, you will be at peace.
