Blinded By The Darkness

TOPIC: Anger

SCRIPTURE: "The one who says he is in the Light and yet hates his brother is in the darkness until now. The one who loves his brother abides in the Light and there is no cause for stumbling in him. But the one who hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going because the darkness has blinded his eyes." (I John 2:9-11)

OBSERVATION: Evidently to have hate in your heart toward another person is very detrimental !!!

APPLICATION: As I think through these 3 verses the only thing that comes to my mind is this verse from Ephesians chapter 4

"Be angry and yet Do NOT sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and do no give the devil an opportunity." (vv.26-27)

SO PLEASE ! ! !

Deal with your hate

DO NOT

Give the devil
the freedom
to have his way
with you!

Being BLIND is NO FUN

You don't have to
suffer through the darkness.

Join us in the Light
It's Amazing
You can see so much better


PRAYER: Father, help me to live full of love and forgiveness so that when others do wrong I will be able to extend the gift of forgiveness to them.
