My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this; Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry. James 1:19
Real faith shows in the ways Christians conduct themselves. Genuine Christian standards must exist in everyday life and in every relationship.
God is not quick to anger, His love endures and his patience is persevering. We must align our conduct with that of Christ’s model. We are the sum of our thoughts and actions. God yearns for us to live with a positive attitude, lacking in blame toward Himself and others and rich in self-control.
James’ words of instruction are not just to keep peace on earth, but peace within your heart.
Happy Tuesday,
Gretchen
