...and you know dear sweet Denise...WE LOVE YOU TOO!
Hi, Denise,
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I'm always happy to make a new friend. :)
I'm so glad to see your problems haven't made you bitter or angry toward God. I have a family member who has been through a lot, and is very angry at God. It's heart-breaking.
I'll be keeping you in my prayers. Please feel welcome to visit again anytime. :)
Sometimes it hard not to be angry. Even Jesus got angry at times. We just have to direct that anger in the right direction (Satan). Praying for you. You are so strong in your love for Christ.
Hi Denise,
This saddens me deeply my sister in Christ with what you are going through, I will continue praying in the name of our Lord Jesus for complete healing for you!
Thank you Denise so much for your comments on my blog . . . Humble Path.
You bless many each time you write. I am glad Marsha came for a visit! Thanks for sharing with us all. And thanks for encouraging me.
Love, Sherry
... and how could we not LOVE YOU, DENISE?
This was one of my worst emotions to battle with and overcome. Yes, you are so right. And thank you for your sweet transparency.
I stuffed much of my anger and it went unnoticed until one day, I exploded and not at the right people or things... did I need to get a handle on this? I sure did.
Did i need some anger management?
Ohh yeah... Did it take me a while to sort it all out and understand my anger? ... yep. But not once was I angry at God or with God. Mostly me. And then another somebody... but the real enemy is the enemy of our souls that wants to get a hold
of us anyway possible and drive a wedge between us and God or others.
Yes, Denise, many lessons learned along this anger route... and when I thought I was all done with it. Dump! along comes some more stuff to get angry about... did I go looking for this? No way. Did I better understand? Not really. But by the grace of God, I could see that the enemy was trying to steal my JOY and the LIFE that God has blessed me with... and so I ask God to remove this thorn... and instead He showed me how to deal with it like Jesus, be angry at the sin not ever the sinner (you said this too) ... and the circumstances, the situation allow God to work good from the not so good, be angry and sin not... Jesus' anger' was justified. But you know, I never even liked it when Jesus showed His anger and dumped the tables of the vendors to prove that God's house was a house of prayer... and prayer is not a vending machine... nor bought or sold goods, nor a place to exchange merchandise, but people still do. And I think God is still angry. But He loves us even more.
Good points on anger Denise! And, I think if I were you, I would be angry too... and then my day of awakening would come... and my anger would be directed to whom it should be... Thank You God for showing us how to deal with our anger and holding back Your wrath against us, who deserve it now as in days of the OT, but please, O Lord have mercy on us and deliver us from evil and further destruction. Teach us Your ways!
Soften hearts and change our tempers as You direct and channel our anger to bring forth justice and Your love. In Jesus Name...
