The poem, “Christ-Centered Discipline Over Wrath,” examines the challenge of managing emotions through a Christ-centered perspective. It begins with the heart overtaken by rage, risking a drift from Christ’s path, yet His peace offers control. It emphasizes standing for righteousness and acting justly, while restraining wrath and leaving judgment to God, who declares, “Vengeance is Mine.” Through discipline, grace, and prayer, Christ’s love overcomes wrath, leading the spirit to rest. Throughout, it urges a steadfast stand for truth and righteousness, resting in Jesus Christ’s just reign.

he heart ignites, a storm of rage unfurls,
Emotions surge, a flood to sweep astray,
Yet Christ commands a peace that gently swirls,
For wrath unchecked obscures His holy way.

One stands for right, with courage firm and true,
To do what’s just, a duty pure and plain,
The wrathful heart leaves judgment to God’s view—
“Vengeance is Mine,” the Lord alone shall reign.

Through discipline, His grace restrains the tide,
A cross to bear, emotions brought to heel,
In prayer, the spirit learns to rest, abide,
His love restores what pride would seek to seal.

Deny wrath’s hold, for truth and right contend,
Let Jesus reign, His justice shall descend.
