ANGER

Pastor Mike Igunza November 4 at 1:27pm

There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence. The first day the boy drove 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually decreased. He discover it was easier to hold his temper than to drive the nails into the fence. Finally the day came when the boy didn`t lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper. The day passed and the young boy was finally able to to tell his father that all the nails were gone. The father took his son by the hand and led him back to the fence. He said, You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar on people just like the nails left scars on the fence. Even when we ask others to forgive us and we ask God to forgive us, hurtful, hurtful, ugly and angry leave a scar on the peoples heart
