When is it okay to lose your cool?

[Jacqueline]

I lost my cool today. I have a vendor that I owe money to and because business is almost nonexistence right now paying what I owe has been slow. Anyway, today the person I owe this money to called my home and started yelling at my mother regarding the balance that I owe them. When I heard what she did I got very upset because my mother was really sick two weeks ago and she is still getting over the flu. 68 and the flu is a very bad mix. Anyway I know that I shouldn't have yelled at this person, but just the thought that she would call my home and yell at my mother regarding something she has nothing to do with really upsets me. Just need to vent. I'll get over it. Thank God I don't lose my cool to often.

God bless you

Grace to you,

The Bible say's it's never alright to give place to sin.

That said, the Bible also states that every man sins, even the Christian.

I didn't say that I sinned. I yelled at this person yes, but I didn't say anything other then don't call my home yelling at my mother and don't talk about my account with anyone other then me. Well..... maybe my sin was speaking in anger..... God's way is so different then ours.

God bless you

I'm not sure where you live, but people living in my state that are in collections - have very strict guidelines by which to pursue payment. I think you are being harrassed when they notify a third party (your mother) and discuss your account information with her. I would report them to the State Attorney General's Office.

If you are doing what you can to try to address this debt and they are calling more often, or at odd hours, or calling and discussing it with others who have no stock in the debt - something is wrong. That said - everyone gets angry sometime. All you can do is pray and ask God's forgiveness. He forgives us for what we do wrong - make peace with Him...first. God Bless you!

I think you refrained very well. It was very unprofessional and unethical for the vendor to do what she did. Now, if you can let it go, it will not turn to sin.

Grace to you,

You were concerned enough to write a thread about it. I'm no discerner of your heart though. What is sin for one may not be for another. As a person with a short fuse, I personally have to be real careful with issues like this.

Peace,

You lost your cool from the pressure you have from the slow business.The person who called has the same pressure as you.

Forgive the person that called.You have realised what you did.Thank God and Jesus for this.In business you need to work harder to keep God and Jesus love.

Thanking God and Jesus helps you keep a clear mind of their love to you.

Blessings

That person was way out of line to call and harass your mother. If your mother took it really personally and the stress increased a severe flu to the point of hospitalisation or death - this woman would have just walked away.

I would have been really angry too. Be angry but not sin. Jesus yelled at people. He got angry and called a spade a spade. But he didn't sin.

You can be angry and not sin. God gets angry all the time. (if you record the amount of times in the bible where God is ticked - it's a lot.)

God is love - but he's also just.
