Managing Anger with Integrity - Part 3

Understanding the purpose of anger in everyday life and relationships is critical to sustaining a healthy integrity. The American Heritage Dictionary defines anger as a feeling of extreme displeasure, hostility, indignation, or exasperation toward someone or something. This could include feeling anguished, troubled, or distressed. David Mace said, "Anger is feeling displeasure toward a person or object with a desire to remove the cause."

Anger turned inward creates depression. However, anger can be healthy and helpful when used to correct a bad situation while concurrently saving your integrity from guilt and shame. Counseling can help anyone manage anger in an open, honest way without damaging relationships and integrity.

Mark 3:5 portrays Jesus expressing anger while taking positive actions to correct a situation which included healing a man's shriveled hand. Managing anger for healthy constructive good is choosing to change in ways that please and honor God.
