If a member of the body hurt your feelings repetitively you are supposed to forgive them repetitively. ( Matthew 6:14-15 ,Ephesians 4:32,Luke 17:3-4,Colossians 3:13 )Being angry is not the problem. The problem is when you behave in a manner because of that anger, that is not the behavior that the Most High has called you to behave in. This causes you to be in sin and the other people you are angry with are unaffected. A friend told me recently that she learned about accepting what comes and having little to no expectation from people. After all you cannot cause another person to love you all you can do is give love attention and affection and hope that they choose to return it. I read is saying that said, when you truly love someone they should feel free. A relationship without obligation, one that is participated in because both parties choose to put their all into, is the best kind of relationship. One that has so many conditions on it can leave one person feeling unhappy or feeling that the other person doesn't love them as much as they feel they have given love.
If you are giving to get a response you will always end up angry.
If you are interacting to get interaction you will end up angry.
What are your heart motives? Why are you pursuing relationships? Do you have such a relationship with the Most High that He gives you all the things that you need? Then you full from His perfect love will be able to give that love to others freely? That doesn't mean that you should lower your standards, that doesn't mean that you should compromise your beliefs, but it does mean that you can love them in a way that they are free to love you back in their way.
The world teaches us that if you are not treated the way you are expected then they are wrong. That Is worldly love. We are not to be of this world. This world will pass away if you want to be part of something Eternal you must have the Most Highs light Within you. That is how you let your light shine.
When you turn a lightbulb on you never hear, "I will only shine if the chair is to the left, the rug is straight, and there are no shoes in the room." The light bulb shines because it has what it needs from its source. If we are to be the light for Christ on this Earth we must not allow the devil to cause us to sin in our anger but shine freely show Love & Mercy freely, and be that light because we have what we need from our source.
