God's Living Word

I was looking for the scripture, "And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father," which I thought was Colossians 3:13, but what I found was ",bearing with one another, and forgiving each, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you."
God has truly been convicting me over the past few weeks about holding grudges and not letting things go. It always seems easier for me to get angry with the people that I am closest too, but it also is easier for me to forgive them 70x7 times because I love them so much. It is the people that knowingly do wrong and do it in my face just because they can or just because they are lazy that I have trouble forgiving. Then every little thing they do just irritates me even more unti I am in full blown rage, and I am so convicted because I know people will never see Jesus in me when I allow satan the opportunity to fill my mind with anger. Our pastor has been doing a series on the Great Commandment and he has stated multiple times in the last month that we must "Love God first, most and best," and everytime he says that, I nod my head in agreeance with his statement but then I allow satan to have my anger towards these few people which means...I am not loving God first, most, or best. I know that there is such a thing as righteous anger and as much as I would like to proudly say that my anger is righteous...I know that it isn't, if for no other reason that I don't deal with my bitterness appropriately.
I began writing because I am amazed on a daily basis at the way God's Word continues to speak to me and draw me closer to Him, but I ended up confessing my sin to the world (or the few that may read this) but I ask you to hold me accountable for my sin.
He must become greater and I must become less.
