I have hidden Thy word in my heart.

Ephesians 4. “Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to your neighbor, for we are all members of one body. ‘In your anger do not sin’: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold. Anyone who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with their own hands, that they may have something to share with those in need. Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you” (Verses 25-320. As I sat reading this portion of scripture, it dawned on me how opposite this is to what society and our human nature would have us do. We must stopping stealing, and lying. We must build up and edify (others), we must forgive and love. The world would look a whole lot different if we did these things. Today let us forgive, love, and not let the sun go down on our anger. Change the way our world looks.
