What Christ expects of your behavior and how you will change it for not only the better, but for God’s glory

I can’t believe you anymore! The way you said you knew how to control your temper, you just are not showing it!
These words were said to me by my grandma a few hours ago after I lied and said how I know how to control my temper when I am around my mother and we argue.
Wait but, there’s more!
It started out when I asked my grandma about going out with my mother for Black Friday shopping and then have dinner at a restaurant.
She refused to let me go because I might argue and get into a fight with my mother. I stormed off to my room, and she called my mother. Later, my mother sent me a text message video explaining why she refused to let me hang with her.
I took the video very badly. In fact, I cried. Worse then that, I started texting people and calling my friend. He said that he would pray for me.
My primary care pastor said he would as well. Covered. Some what!
I blew up so much that my grandma heard me slamming doors and screaming. She came in and honestly, to tell you the real truth, I deliberately disregarded and disrespected her. Totally!
She was deeply wounded by my words that cut like a double edged sword, as I stood there with my arms folded cutting her like a dull knife cuts off your thumb.
Letting go and apologies were not easy at no expense! It almost killed my body, yet it wounded my heart and soul, as well as cleaning it up.
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone! James 4:15
How will you change your ultimate behavior and attitude in front of your Heavenly Father and your family, as well as your lifestyle, today?
