Price of an Anger

Have you buy something that the price is so expensive but did not
reflect the quality ? Watch that store said original guaranteed , but after
you arrive at home, you find out that watch is
not original. House that
build with a second materials, but the price is like a penthouse.
Price is
so expensive but did not reflect the quality.

What is your feelings if you were in that position ? Upset,
anger, not mood ,
I guess that a positive feelings is not in the first place , right ?

Maybe while you were read this article, you said that you're not the one that
buy an expensive stuff with a low quality. But in the fact, maybe you are more
trapped than you are thinking.

The mostly expensive thing that you and I bought but did not reflect the
quality is an anger.

If you were in anger, what do you feel or thinking about ?

“Hm, now you know that I'm serious”, with a smile of victory.
“I told you ... don't play a game with me .”, with a grumble
“Now , i'm happy .”, with a fist in the air.
“Go ahead , I don't need you anyway “, with a sight of anger.


It feel perfect right ? A revenge that bring a happiness ? I must admit , it
feels good ... but after that, you and I must be ready to pay more than you get.

An anger husband, paid that anger with a broken relationship with his wife.
A young man that anger, lost his truly best friend.
An employee that anger with his supervisor, lost his job.
Someone that anger with himself, paid with lost all of his potential that he had.
An emotional man , stuck in the prison cause his anger consume his mind.

I'm not saying we can't made because mad is something that God created before.
But there is a difference between anger and a habit to anger. If anger has
become your character , I think that man must be ready . The debt is more than
you can imagine.

God provide one way to release you from that kind of anger. The price is expensive, but it is equal and even more than you paid. God said you need to release your life to get a life.

Silent is Golden ?

Have you ever hear about silent is golden ? I've heard about this when
my friend was asked to tell about his life experienced. He is not tell us anything
, not because he isn't had any experiences, but because he said "this is just for me,
nothing special was happened in my life."
I know the truth in the bible, that GOD has plan for each of people that love
HIM and HIS desire is for every HIS child live in that plan. HIS plan is not just the
ordinary plan, but it is something that extraordinary. Wanna see proof ? Ask Jesus,
How come GOD himself make a way for every one that have sin to be saved.
That's why i think every believer must be had something special in his life. If not,
then i think we should back in the bible, searching for what GOD has planned for you,
alone.

My Life Principles or The Truth

For years my life principles build from family background, friends and what i learn. There is money management principles, success principles, family principles, how to make a relationship

principles, business principles, principles at work and many more.


Behind all of right or wrong, bad or good decisions that I thought or taken there is my life principles. Whatever the result is, I'm always think that I' m right.


Do you same as I do ?


But check this out, I realize that all of my life principles, it is build because all of the situation and condition that I've been through or learn. But what if I had a difference situation and condition ?

Is it I' m going to be had the same principles ?


For me, life principles is my foundation. Something that direct and decide my move. It is my absolute base. But what if something that I thought absolute base, could move ? Can I still see a reason in the same perception after many years decision that I taken ?


I don't think so, do you ?


Is there is something that can't change ? Something that in the past , present or future still the same so we can choose that for a life principles ? For me there is one thing that can't change, even the situation is good or bad , it is the words of God.


The standard is clear and not in the gray area and absolutely can't move.


Now, if I'm dealing with one decision , I learn to see it from another perception. My principles or the absolute truth in words of GOD. I choose the unchanged truth.
