When you feel so mad about something (or someone for that matter), shut your mouth, run to your room, lock yourself in and think. Stop for a while and refuse to give free rein to your emotions. They can feel like a very strong tide rushing about but I tell it you, it can be stopped. Go away from the source of that anger inside you and breath in, then breathe out (of course i don't have to tell you that you should keep doing this hehe).
When you're mad, you see, you feel like your emotions, and your opinions are the most correct things in the world. It feels so right to let them out. But the truth is, it's not. Because if you do, you'll only regret it later... after you've already hurt someone's feelings or ruined a relationship. It will be harder if you choose to follow your heart. When things like this happens, IT IS WISER to follow your mind.
If you want to, cry your frustrations out. Or just be still and stare at the ceiling. What I do is I talk to God. I tell him how mad I am. I tell him everything there is to tell about what's happening to me. Then, I pray, and ask God for wisdom. You can do that too. Pray, and let God know that you don't want to be consumed by what you're feeling.
When I did that last night, God spoke to me and revealed something to me I never really thought of before.
This is what I came to realize:
Forgiveness becomes so easy when you realize that you love God more than you want to keep your pride, more than your hurt and anger. It becomes easy when you remember that you also are no better but are only one who has been forgiven.
When you really love God and if the desire of your heart is really to honor him, there is no emotion so great that will stop you from doing so.
