As I approach the three-quarter century mark in life

there is one emotion that I have struggled to overcome.

That emotion is Anger.

as a revengeful God.

Destruction, plagues and various calamities

are everyday occurrences in retribution

to those whose worship fell short of His expectations.

 

Jesus, the Son of God

brought to the earth

the human self-image of God.

 

A gentle, kind and the perfect human

was Jesus as he wore the body of man.

Jesus by His example

elevated us to the higher level

of the spirit of man and woman.

of the example of my Lord.

 

Let me turn what angers

face me in life to

a greater understanding

of the Love of Jesus.
