I have had a lot of anger stored up. I have had issues I felt I didn't think that I needed to address.
I struggle with slander. I put off doing anything about it as I didn't want to rock the boat.
I did a lot of rationalizing this didn't happen all the time.
This is what trips us up.
I left the sin to grow. Seeds of Sin kept germinating.
I rationalized with excuses.
Yesterday slander and angry feelings reared its head and for the first time and I came to see that
I was slandering people .
Yes potty language was happening because I didn't empty my mouth before God
.
I was stinky with sin.
I had a dose of anger to let go of.
My anger had resurface. I was wanting to smash dishes .
I knew that I was in trouble. I had to do something.
I could no longer sweep it under the rug.
I didn't want my anger issues with breaking dishes start up.
I bowed my head and confessed the anger in my heart.
My pride
Once God reveals something I have found there usually more under the surface
1 john 1:9 says that if we confess our sin he is Faithful
And Just to forgive us our sin.
And Cleanse us from All unrighteousness
It has not been pleasant to be shown these sins .
Sin never is pleasant and when you are gripped in something sinful it is difficult to let it go.
When I do I feel lighter.
When I confessed and experience God's forgiveness I am lighter in my Spirit.
Sometimes we are required to go a step further and this is about the worse but Necessary .
We are then walking lighter in our bodies and in our interactions with people.
