Why is it that some people can push our buttons so easily?
Sometimes it’s a careless comment, an unmet expectation, or something someone does that just rubs us the wrong way. Before we know it, we’re frustrated, angry, or holding on to something that happened days ago. But have you ever stopped to wonder why certain things bother us so much? Could our anger actually be telling us something about what’s going on beneath the surface? As we continue our Made Visible series, we’re discovering that the life of Jesus within us isn’t just meant to change what we do, but to transform who we are. And nowhere does that become more apparent than in our relationships with other people. Anger is a normal human emotion, but it doesn’t have to control us or determine how we respond when things don’t go our way.
What would change if we approached those frustrating moments from a place of knowing how deeply we’re loved by God? Discover how the Holy Spirit can work in those places where we struggle, bringing healing, freedom, and a love that becomes visible in the way we treat others.
