It is better to be patient.
“BE ANGRY [at sin—at immorality, at injustice, at ungodly behavior], YET DO NOT SIN; do not let your anger [cause you shame, nor allow it to] last until the sun goes down. And do not give the devil an opportunity [to lead you into sin by holding a grudge, or nurturing anger, or harboring resentment, or cultivating bitterness]” Ephesians 4:26-27 (AMP)
Don’t excuse it as your temperament.
Don’t justify it as “that just my nature.”
The Holy Spirit working in you can perfect you.
Don’t be classified as a fool.
