Be slow in your anger,
be slow to show your wrath
for you are called to peace
with self-control as your path.
Be not puffed up with pride,
be not filled with malice
for you’re called to be gentle
not thick-skinned and callous.
Put off all bitterness and hate,
put off the grudge inside you
for you are called to temperance
in everything you say and do.
Take off that old sinful man,
take off the old wicked nature
for you are called in His love
to bring hope for the future.
Be kind to one another,
be tenderhearted and forgiving
for Jesus is God’s example
of how we should be living!
~~~~~~~~~~
“And be ye kind one to another,
tenderhearted,
forgiving one another,
even as God for Christ’s sake
hath forgiven you.”

This is very nice! I used to have a temper. God took away my bad temper and gave me a sweet spirit. I think anything is possible with God.
