His Word

Day 229 – Proverbs 17:19

Whoever loves a quarrel loves sin; whoever builds a high gate invites destruction

Proverbs 17:19, NIV

Sometimes, when we are too full of our emotions, we just can’t help but burst out in anger. If we don’t know how to control ourselves, we tend to express words that will hurt others. Eventually, a quarrel will start, and we will regret it in the end. So stop building up high gates that will destroy your life. Do not let your bitterness consume your heart because it will cause you to commit sins and hurt others. If you don’t know how to control yourself, you can always ask for God’s help. When you fix your eyes on Him, He will teach you how to handle your emotions, and you will learn to love others like how God loves them.

May you always choose to focus on God and never allow your negative emotions to reign inside.
