Every body is bound with Anger. Every one of us has the courage to tell to others that we have one more personality in us – that is Anger. By telling this to others we think that we have done something very great. By giving this type of statements to others just think… What will we get? Many may say that we will get respect from others. Is this the way to get respect from others?
Sometimes we get angry because of
others. Sometimes our friends or may be our enemies does something against us.
We get angry. We even react with that anger. When anger comes into us we think
that we can destroy our enemies. How can we destroy our enemies? Is it through
anger? We can’t destroy a person with anger. The only way to take revenge to a
person is by forgiveness. What ever he does just forgive him or her. At first
he won’t change. But gradually he will change.
There once lived a boy. He was weak
in his studies. But he believed in God. Some of his relatives didn’t like him.
As he believed in God even though he was weak in his studies, God gave him
blessings. The relatives told bad things about him to the people. So people
didn’t talk to him. Any way he came to know about the situation. At first he
got very angry. But then he went to God and prayed to him, asked him what to
do? Suddenly his anger went down and he didn’t react. His relatives didn’t
stop. So everyday he will come in the presence of God and what ever he wants to
say he will say to God. After being with God he will forgive every thing his
relatives had done to him.
We may ask one thing. What will we
get if we forgive others? Let me tell you, this boy who went to God and
forgave, he was blessed. People understood that whatever they heard about him
was totally wrong. So they liked him and loved him more than in the past. What
happened to his relatives? God stopped blessing them. They couldn’t get any
thing in life. But what the boy did was that when all bad things were affecting
his relatives he went to God and cried for them. God heard his prayer. God
blessed his relatives. What happened to him? He was blessed with double
measure.
Friends, this is a true life story.
You can also be blessed like the boy. In the Holy Bible God said these words –
“Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for
it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. Therefore if
thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing
thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome
evil with good.” (Romans 12: 19-21)
Even God wants us to be a nice
person. He doesn’t want us like a man or woman of anger. He wants us to forgive
one other and be helpful. In Scriptures God says – “Let all bitterness, and
wrath, and anger, and clamor, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with
all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one
another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.” (Ephesians 4: 31,
32)
Many people make New Year
resolutions. Let us make this year’s resolution as to forgive others, doesn’t
matter what ever they do. Let us put Jesus Christ in our heart and do what he
did – Forgiving others. As God says in the Holy Bible – “For we know him that
hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And
again, The Lord shall judge his people.” (Hebrew
