> "[CAIN,] WHY ARE YOU ANGRY?" ( GENESIS 4:6 ) CONTROL YOUR EMOTIONS (1) 
> Unless you learn to discipline your emotions you'll lose credibility, 
> alienate others, and miss great opportunities. Your emotions are like a 
> car: properly understood and directed it can take you places; out of 
> control it can destroy you. When God asked Cain, "Why are you angry with 
> your bother?" He was saying: "Listen up, Cain! Your emotions are sending 
> you a message. If you don't get a handle on this you'll create a mess you 
> won't be able to live with. Yes, you'll repent and regret it, but you 
> won't be able to undo it." But Cain wouldn't listen. The situation seemed 
> unfair; he felt unappreciated. He thought his brother's blessing had come 
> at his expense. What emotions were at work here? Jealousy. Resentment. 
> Competitiveness. A sense of victimhood. These unchecked forces caused him 
> to murder his brother Abel and cross a line he couldn't come back from. 
> Most of us have an inner response mechanism that
> isn't necessarily controlled by the rational side of our brain. It reacts 
> to people and events and, like a sudden storm rises with strength from 
> within, sometimes overwhelming us. Gordon McDonald writes: "I used to 
> pride myself on the fact that I kept my emotions to myself. I never saw 
> myself as an angry person...Then I got married and my wife informed me 
> that I had plenty of anger after all. While it rarely came out in words it 
> showed itself in full color in facial expressions (the gift of glare, we 
> called it) I never knew I had. I had work to do. I had emotions that 
> needed to be disciplied." How about you? Linda("The Prayerwarrior/Angel")
