There was a song in the late 90s that got really popular. I mean, really popular. And the line that sticks out to me is also its title, “I want it that way.” Do you know this song? In Matthew 5, Jesus continues talking about anger and how it’s sometimes a result of how, “I want it that way!” This anger leads us down a really negative trail, but Jesus encourages us to release the anger, to let it go, so we can get back to our real purpose: to be life givers.

Today’s challenge: when you get angry, let it go. Doing this allows us to get back to loving God and loving others.
