The Dream: I was angry at myself because I had not performed up to my standards. Then I got angry at others because they had not performed up to my standards. So I was just plain angry!!!

I awoke feeling angry.

Journaling about the dream

Mark, the root of your anger is the incredible judgment which you put upon yourself and others. If your standards are not met, then you get angry. The truth is, not meeting the standards is a part of life, a big part of life, so you need to learn to let it be a part of life, without blowing a fuse over it.

I gave the standard of the Law to prove that it could not be kept. I never anticipated people would live under the law, but rather they are to live by My Spirit, out of fellowship and relationship with Me. No-one can keep the law, including you. If you are going to blow a fuse every time someone does not keep the law, then you will be angry much of the time. You need to lay that down.

You are to let people live by the Spirit and let yourself live by the Spirit. Making mistakes is a part of life. My grace and My mercy cover yours and others mistakes. So celebrate mistakes, rather than blowing a fuse over them.
