Hatred: Where to stand to clean our hearts? P.1
Thanks for hanging there with me through this journey of learning about how hatred affects our life and how to get rid of it. This is the last post of this series and if you have made it this far you are a true trooper. Once again I believe in standing in the Word of God to resolve our issues. The other major reason for the feelings of hatred is anger.
So, What scriptures can I use to work through my anger?

‘The LORD is slow to anger, abounding in love and forgiving sin and rebellion. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation.

In your anger do not sin; when you are on your beds, search your hearts and be silent. Selah
