Today I read an article that was very convicting to me on my attitude of grumpiness/bad mood and the sin that it is. It really spoke to me and convicted me when struggling with a bad mood to not be ok with myself staying in my bad mood because IT IS SIN. So many times I feel justified to stay in a bad mood because I feel wronged by someone, life is hard and not going my way, I am just plain bored, or I am struggling with depression or a combination of all all those reasons plus some. That is not ok though, and it is not ok because when I give in to letting my bad mood fester I am sinning. How can I battle my bad moods? THE GOSPEL!

Here is the article. I am going to tuck this one away so that the next time I have an ugly, sinful mood I can pull it out!
