"The insight of a man certainly slows down his anger."

[Bible Speaks]

"The insight of a man certainly slows down his anger." — Prov. 19:11.

If a fellow Christian, especially one with privileges in the congregation, is thoughtless or acts in an unchristian way, it can hurt us or make us angry. ‘How can such things occur among Jehovah’s people?’ we might ask. Actually, such things occurred even among anointed Christians in the days of the apostles. (Gal. 2:11- 14; 5:15; Jas. 3:14, 15)

How should we respond when we are affected? “I learned to pray for anyone who hurt me,” said one sister. “It always helps.” Jehovah wants his servants on earth to get along. We look forward to living together peacefully and happily forever, and Jehovah is teaching us to do so now. He wants us to cooperate in doing his great work. Therefore, let us resolve problems or simply “pass over” transgression and move ahead together. Instead of drawing away from our brothers when problems arise, we ought to help one another remain among God’s people.— Deut. 33:27.
