"The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy." (Psalm 103:8 KJV)
Dearly beloved, anger turned inward becomes self-hatred. Anger turned outward destroys relationships. But the Lord shows us another way: He is slow to anger and rich in mercy. You do not have to be perfect to be loved. You do not have to earn forgiveness—it is already yours. Release the fury you hold against yourself. Release the resentment toward those who wounded you. Let the Holy Spirit replace your rage with a gentle and quiet strength.
