*raises hand* I admit that I can be a little passionate about what I believe in. Im not always slow to wrath so to speak. However, I have been working on it with prayer, fasting and faith walking. Honestly taking time to respond has proven beneficial. It allows God to truly step in, give me understanding, and wisdom on both things im passionate about and especially those things that im not well versed on... patience is the key...

So many protests, so much divisiveness! Oh, that we all might heed this admonition- “My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry,” ‭‭James‬ ‭1:19‬ ‭NIV‬‬ http://bible.com/111/jas.1.19.niv #listen #hear #oneanother #james1v19

“Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger;” ‭‭James‬ ‭1:19‬ ‭ESV‬‬ #votd #verseoftheday #bibleverse #bible #james1v19

QUICK TO LISTEN. We must pause and set aside our opinions first. Listening is a sign of care, selflessness and love for others as we prioritize others over ourselves. SLOW TO SPEAK. We do not let our words out without thought. We contemplate, get enough and correct information before airing our thoughts. We do not consider our opinions better than that of others. We consider the possibility that we could be wrong in our own judgment and perception. SLOW TO ANGER. We control our emotions and not allow it to rule over our actions. We must recognize that our heart is deceitful, selfish most of the time therefore we cannot always put our trust into it. All of these are challenging, impossible I may say. But when we have Christ in our lives and we have seen His example and how He demonstrated love to it's perfection, we will continuously strive to be like Him. So even if it's impossible, we will, slowly, day by day, transform to His likeness and be able to truly love. #James1v19
