A Simple Trick to Help You Choose Love Over Anger
Would you like to know a powerful way to love others more consistently? Even when we're trying our best to serve God, we all sometimes fall short - like getting angry in traffic or responding unkindly to others.
Here's a practical approach that can help you choose love over anger in challenging moments:

The Bible gives us clear guidance in 1 Peter 1:22 (NIV): "Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for each other, love one another deeply, from the heart."
The key insight here is that purification comes through obedience to truth. While simply knowing God's command to love others is important, it's not enough - we must act on it.
Think of God's love like a ball He's holding out to you:
- God says "Take My love and pass it on"
- Just acknowledging this truth isn't enough
- Real change happens when you actively receive His love and share it with others
The beautiful promise is that when you choose to act on God's truth about loving others, He empowers you to love in ways you couldn't on your own. He makes you "able" to love sincerely and deeply from the heart.
The choice is yours - will you just know about God's command to love, or will you actively participate in receiving and sharing His love with others?
You have the power to be a vessel of God's love to everyone you encounter. Each day presents new opportunities to put this truth into action.
Remember: When you align your actions with God's truth about love, He provides the supernatural ability to love others deeply and sincerely.
