Don't let the sun go down


If someone offends you,

go and tell them how you feel.

If you ever truly cared for them,

then let them be real.

People have their bad days

and sometimes words offend.

Perhaps they never meant to harm you

and thought you’d understand.

Poor choice of words

a jest made in haste

they never meant their words

to slap you in the face.

Perhaps it was their way

of hiding their own pain.

Please don’t let your anger

cause them so much shame.

Don’t let the sun go down

with anger in your heart

such grief is bitter poison

if you let it make its mark.

    Ephesians 4:26-27

    "In your anger do not sin": Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold."

    and

    Ephesians 4:31-32

    "Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you."
