Love vs. Anger

Anger is a "sticky" mess.
It "separates" and causes stress!
If it rests within a soul
It will take a dreadful toll.

A needless wound we should not nurse.
It only will make things much worse.
Let love counter anger's flame.
Forgiveness it's intent will maim.

If you don't "receive" a dart
It cannot rest within your heart.
Quickly make a "healing" choice.
Love the person, not the "voice".

"Be gentls and forbearing with one another and, if one has a difference (a grievance or complaint) against another, readily pardoning each other; even as the Lord has freely forgiven you, so must you also (forgive). And above all these (put on) love and enfold yourselves with the bond of perfectness - which binds everything together completely in ideal harmony. And let the peace (soul harmony which comes) from the Christ rule (act as umpire continually) in your hearts - deciding and settling with finality all questiions that arise in your minds - (in that peaceful state) to which (as members of Christ's) one body you were also called (to live). And be thankful - appreciative, giving praise to God always."
Colossians 3:13-15 Amplified Bible
