Blessing be with you all, in this #HeartChurch Community.
Greetings to all brothers, today I want to talk about the consequences of a fierce heart. Today we hear a lot about the fact that the crazy pace of modern life inevitably leads to stress, and that stress can kill us.
That is why we can think that people with type A personality are the most susceptible to this and extremely overwhelmed people, those who are aggressive and always in a hurry, are considered potential candidates for a heart attack. Therefore, a hardened heart or fierce heart has a higher risk of having a heart attack.
However, we are all exposed to face daily challenges and some simple or other irritating, the difference is how we react. That is why as Christians we must have our faith strengthened and understand that we cannot let anger enter our lives, since anger becomes a burden that is not easy to remove.
There are theories that there are two things you can do to deal with anger. The first is simply to try to suppress it, to hide it from prying eyes. Unfortunately, this does not solve the problem; in the end, anxiety will continue to creep in. The emotions we repress prevent us from resolving the conflicts that caused the anger.
The second way is to try to vent the anger, express it, pour it out. The truth is that expressing anger finally intensifies it, usually words spoken in anger also do not solve anything and make the anger disappear.
That is why the best way to treat a fierce heart, and with anger is to find a substitute for anger, that is why the best alternative we can find is to direct our senses towards God, we must focus on something positive and a path of light.
In Christ's parable of the hidden treasure, the tenant, plowing a field, discovered gold and silver that someone had buried.
Jesus said that this man "with joy passes over him and sells everything he has and buys that field" (Matthew 13:44).
This farmer gave up all his properties to get something much more valuable. He did not sell everything and then continue to be a beggar. I longed for the treasure.
This happens when we get rid of some of the habits that enslaved us. We gave up this burdensome property to acquire something incomparably greater.
Analyze the situation carefully and you will notice that anger outbursts usually occur because you are unwilling to give in. For example: when you hold a crying child, if you let anger engulf you, you begin to resent, your feelings become increasingly heated and as a result, you lose self-control.
Unbridled outbursts of anger usually occur when you are struggling to achieve your goal. But when its overwhelming force meets an insurmountable obstacle in its path, a violent collision ensues. Therefore, if you have anger problems, you need to develop the quality of flexibility. It needs to be more compatible.
If you could have a different attitude to the obstacle and not bang your head against it, your life would be more peaceful and fruitful.
I wish you spiritual strength not to have a fierce heart, but rather to be a heart full of peace and love.
