Our anger grieves God’s Spirit, not only producing bitter fruit but quenching the fruit of the Spirit in our lives. Rather than operating with love, joy, and peace toward others, a bitter person becomes hateful, negative, and restless, closing off his heart toward others. Bitter people become very unlike themselves. The most loving and joyful people in the world can become hateful, irrational pessimists if they let bitterness take root and don’t forgive. Believe it or not, bitterness even hurts us physically. “A joyful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit dries up the bones” (Proverbs 17:22). The tension of trying to contain it can harden our facial features and make us lose the radiance of our countenance, even causing a chemical imbalance in our bodies and lowering our resistance to disease.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Stephen Kendrick" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/stephen-kendrick/grieving-the-holy-spirit-ephesians-4-30-our-anger-grieves-god-s/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/f73/stephen-kendrick-12724_anger_grieving-the-holy-spirit-ephesians-4-30_2904769.png", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/f73/stephen-kendrick-12724_anger_grieving-the-holy-spirit-ephesians-4-30_2904769.png", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/f73/stephen-kendrick-12724_anger_grieving-the-holy-spirit-ephesians-4-30_2904769.png", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Grieving the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 4:30).
