this morning i had my devotion with God and it is a command not to sin when angry. well, it is right to be angry, i thought. but it was still dawn so i slept again. but when i went to the school, i met my classmates who really demanded me to be early and even said that they had wasted their time waiting for me. in the first place, they didn't told me to be early. and i already informed them that i had work something that i just cant be early. but in the stillness of the day, they said those things to me and i was reminded of my devotion that morning. what i did is that i gave them the key to the laboratory and i walked out. all of them, i guess is mocking at me. i leave them and i did not help them with the work. i rationalized back then that it is already fine to be away because i already worked yesterday and the other days. but still i feel guilty and hurt at the same time,.. i was angry that time. but the question is, did i sinned?.. what do you think?

It is very hard to understand exactly what happened but if you made an arrangement to meet your class mates at a particular time, then you shouldn't be late unless there is some dire emergency.

HEy..i think we had the same devotion made..today!...
this, early morning as i opened the com shop i had this daily routine before opening any website, i firstly log-on to a site were it has a column that serves for daily bible thoughts and it has that idea "that it's OK to get angry if injustice arises unto us, bUt dO not sin",,,
this line in the verse really had a Deep meaning right!?...but I can see to your situations that You can only commit sin if you do things That HArms their kind...i guess such as hating them badly, have criminal thoughts against them...and many more unrighteousness in the eyes of the people and to our dear GOD.. so don't be worry you just did angry and do not sin...right!!

It was good that you tried not to make the situation worst than expected. Its enough that you have not said hurt that might hurt them in the process. Morning devotion is important to us christians, reading the love letter of God and this lifestyle prepares for the whole day, reminding us to be careful in the words that we utter and the actions that we do. I hope things will turn out well with your classmates, maybe you just need to communicate well to be able to perform your duties as team mates well.
Have a nice day and God bless!

well, my classmates texted me that day. they wanted to talk to me. but during the text, my phone was off (as it is always off). i still don't have the guts to face them. i just needed some time though. and this time, i think it would be different. i think i don't have to take all the works on my own. i should give them the responsibility too. and i have to be independent with my work and they have to do their work too. though in some point, we need to be dependednt with each other, but not at all times,. that is what i learned.. thanks!

Yes, its true that in this kind of work each team member should also do his part in the team, each one should be responsible enough and not to depend on a single person. Just give yourself space and time, surely the feeling will fade and things will turn out well.
Have a nice day!
