There is a saying that makes me chuckle, "I'd give you a piece of my mind but I can't spare any."
Sometimes the apparent foolishness of others gets under our skin. We want to point out a thing or two to the person who is irritating us. When we realize someone is taking advantage of us, or has pulled the wool over our eyes, or has done something to which feelings of anger arise, we want to set them straight in no uncertain terms.
But James makes it clear. "The anger of man does not work the righteousness of God (James 1:20). Therefore, when we need to confront someone with wrong doing, we must first make sure our hearts are prepared with a spirit of humility, recognizing that we too are capable of similar sin (Galatians 6:1-5).
