JOHN

Good Morning! I’m John Branning the Lead Pastor of
Central United Methodist Church. I have found that it is
easy to make people angry. We can anger people by our
actions or inactions. We can say something or participate in
an action that harms the wellbeing of those around us.

If you are like me, most often, it is not our intent to hurt
anyone in any way. This makes me believe that most
people don’t intend to hurt us especially those who love us most.

Ecclesiastes 7:6 says:  Don't let your spirit rush to be angry,
for anger abides in the heart of fools.

When people say or do something that hurt us, let us not
rush to anger. This is good advice for all of us, before we let
the actions of others affect the way that we live and love
today, let us give one another the benefit of the doubt. After
all we are all fallible people prone to say and do the wrong
thing. If we forgive and resist anger life becomes more
enjoyable.
