Anger Quote by Carolyn Miller
““I certainly struggled with anger and resentment for quite some time." "And how did you change?" "God used Aunt Drusilla to help me see that unforgiveness binds, but forgiving sets us free. It actually does us more good because our heart is not so cluttered with poisonous thoughts against others. So I had to ask God to help me, forgive me, in order to forgive others. I still do. I certainly do not mean to imply that I am never angry or resentful, simply that I am learning to not let such emotions possess me. (The Making of Mrs. Hale)””
