Don’t allow anger to keep you.
Do NOT allow anger to keep you…angry.
Anger, can, will, and does keep you:
Hostage.
Hurting.
Angry.
In turn, the anger WILL, does and shall team up with pride, disappointment, disillusionment and ALL their friends. This mob will then lock up your heart and will throw away the key. Pride, will then become your warden, your jailer, your forever taunter and tormentor.
This is why we are admonished to put it away. The anger. NOT, the justified feelings which comes from being hurt. Deal with those feelings, in a healthy, intentional manner then keep it moving. Tell anger, to move on out the way, so you can find out and deal with the TRUE source of the hurt, the pain, the whatever in the fresh hell is going on.
Anger is one of those emotions who absolutely refused to be satisfied, silenced or subdued. Anger, stomps about tearing up everything in it’s path. After a while, we forget what the world started the anger, in the first place. We just mad. Dammit! We STAY mad, fresh hell, until God and/or Life ask us what we are angry about.
I will do as mom said do and shame the devil by admitting to a dream I had, early this morning. I was not going to tell on myself. Not until I realized my pride was telling me to keep THAT part, to myself. Whenever pride does this, I rush, now, to do the opposite.
Early this morning, I had a dream where I was sooooooooooooooooooooooo angry with mom. I don’t remember why. I ended up yelling at her, at the top of my lungs…..”F— you, mom!”
Yikes!
Egads!
I would NEVER have uttered those words, in real life, to her. For one, I would have been picking up teeth from where ever they landed. Note, black mamas do NOT allow their kids to speak that way!
I was so startled, I woke myself up. Out of sorts, I hid. Or,tried to hide, my heart in a drawer.
Now, awake, I refuse to allow anger to hold my heart hostage. I am doing the hard work of addressing those things, head on, which my anger would like for me to keep me from dealing with. Anger KNOWS, once it is exposed and dealt with, it no longer has control over…YOU.
Don’t allow anger to keep…YOU.
Tell anger, along with pride, along with hurt, to take THREE seats and keep being about being about it.
You got this.
God has us all.
Be encouraged.
being about it with you,
Cassandra
