Genesis 4:6-7

In light of my previous post... perhaps I'm condemning myself but this was on my heart today.

Genesis 4:6&7
"6 Then the LORD said to Cain, "Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast? 7 If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must master it."

I have not been following through with what I've promised myself and talk to people who "annoy" me. I didn't name drop or condemn anyone, just sharing what's on my mind, but I should still go to those who I am/was angry with (because it's more a mild irritation now, nothing keeping me from talking to them) and MAYBE those who intimidate me. Probably won't ever do that, but it's a thought. Because it is preventing me from going to church -- my church, that I supposedly call my home church -- and isn't living in "fear" a sin? Isn't running away from the intimidation factor letting it master me?

Thoughts/comments?
