If you can't curb your
temper or your tongue
How can you be entrusted
with the Word?
The devil will provoke you
with his dung
You can't control what
others say and do,
And none can make you feel a
certain way.
With prayer and discipline
you can get to
Restraint in what you do and
what you say.
Increase your love for God
until it glows,
Til humbleness replaces
selfish ways.
The spirit of the Lord both
thrives and grows
Within an attitude of faith
and praise.
Compassion cools the fire before it burns,
And patience settles in when temper turns.
~~~~~~~~~~~
He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty;
and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.
Proverbs 16:32 KJV
