Others may have done things in the past that leaves us feeling angry, victimized, unappreciated, and used. Indeed, you may have a valid reason to feel anger.
-
You may have been taken advantage of and victimized by others. You may have been unappreciated by others. You may have been used by others. These are common life experiences many people go through at some point.
-
However, when these kinds of occurrences happen in life, we have a choice to make. We can choose to be drawn into the darkness put upon us by others, or we can choose to remain in the light and love of Christ.
-
If you are truly a child of God, others may try to do things to make you angry but you do not have to respond or feel angry.
-
In Christ, others may try to victimize you but you do not have to be a victim.
-
In Christ, others may not appreciate you but you do not need the appreciation of others.
-
In Christ, others may use you to their advantage but you do not need to feel used because you have given over all of who you are to Him who died for you.
-
The power we live under in Christ is an insulating power for our hearts. This insulating power keeps us from feeling angry, victimized, unappreciated, and used by others.
