Kung magagalit man kayo, iwasan ninyo ang kayo’y magkasala. Huwag ninyong hayaang lumubog ang araw na galit pa rin kayo.

Mga Taga-Efeso 4:26

May mga araw ba na na-bad trip ka talaga? Maybe someone said something hurtful, at kahit ilang oras o araw na ang lumipas, naiisip mo pa rin kung anong sinabi sa iyo. Parang nire-replay ito sa isip mo. Tapos maiinis ka na naman. ’Yung tipong nagpaplano ka pa kung ano ang ibabalik mong mga salita — ’yung mas masakit at mas nakaka-insulto.

Alam mo bang OK lang makaramdam ng galit? Anger is a normal human emotion. Kahit si Jesus nagalit, like when He saw moneychangers in the temple (John 2:13–17) or when people were looking for something to accuse Him when He healed on a Sabbath (Mark 3:1–5). We get angry when something wrong is done to us, like betrayal, disrespect, injustice, or unfair treatment. That feeling isn’t sinful in itself.  

But here’s the thing: what we do with that anger matters. Will we speak with grace or with poison? Will we let it simmer or surrender it to God? Kung paano tayo aaksyon sa galit na ‘yun ang maaaring maging dahilan ng ating pagkakasala.

The Apostle Paul reminds us not to let the sun go down while we’re still angry. Why? Because unprocessed anger hardens into bitterness. And when bitterness takes root, it poisons our joy, damages relationships, and gives the enemy a foothold. Parang sinasabi mong, “Sige na nga, Satan, pakigamit ’tong galit ko.”

We can’t always control what triggers our anger, but we can choose how to respond. Let’s pause. Pray. Process. Talk it out with the offending person in love. Forgive. Learn to let go. Kapag natutunan nating ibigay kay Lord ang galit natin, we protect our peace and honor Him with our character. Remember, He wants to see a godly character in us.
