Christ’s love pouring out of you inspires others to draw closer to you and God. The active, targeted, and specified kindness of God working through you leads people to a transformed life (Romans 2:4).
You’ll see this in mature Christians. They ask for little while their hearts are big with love as they enjoy the freedom found in the blessedness of nothingness.
Immature, insecure, demanding people have a long list of primary needs, especially when people disappoint them. The only way they know how to get those desires met is through manipulative anger.
Don’t be like them.

Focus on the Cause, not the Effect, so you can remove the cause and not be affected by the effect.
A local church’s worship value is not primarily about the music but the lifestyle because you never ask, “Are you worshiping?” The reason is that we worship all the time. God made us for worship—wired us for worship, you could say.
Worship is part of what it means to be image-bearers. Who could do otherwise? The better question is, “What or whom do we worship?” https://lifeovercoffee.com/three-characteristics-of-a-fantastic-local-church/
Whenever a person chooses sinful anger, he is, in effect, giving the other person control over him. It’s counterintuitive. In his anger, he is like a marionette, a puppet on a string.
Anger toward someone is the total submission of their thoughts, attitudes, emotions, and behaviors to the other person. It is not self-control, as governed by the Spirit of God, but someone out of control or under the control of another spirit. https://lifeovercoffee.com/podcast/ep-110-help-for-the-angry-person/
