Anger/Unforgiveness

"Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another." - Ephesians 4:32

Forgiveness

Mercy triumphs over judgment.

Give yourself permission to move forward.

How to respond when you feel angry. (1) Ask God to direct your anger toward righteous purposes. (2) Make sure any truth you speak is based in love. (3) Ask God what he would have you to about the wrong. (4) Generally, we stick up for others and forgive those who offend us. (5) Regardless, give all your anger to God. He's the only one who can get righteous vengeance.

Move Forward

Every failure forgiven

Don't let unforgiveness rob you of freedom
