Good day Beloved. Have you ever stopped to think about anger? There as many types and reasons for anger as there are people. When people in the midst of grief get angry, the people around them who have not yet experienced deep, heart wrenching grief don’t quite get it. That’s okay. Through my years walking this life I have heard a couple different times that it takes a lot of faith to be angry with God. Makes sense right? We get the most angry with those we care about the most. We are invested. Sometimes we may not even realize how invested we are, until we get really angry with them or we lose them. We may not think we have faith in God, the Creator, Allah, Adoni, Yeshua, (feel free to insert the name you know Him by), until we experience a great loss and then we get angry. Why did God take them away? Why did God let this happen? Why God? Why?
We rage against the “it” that took our Beloved. We may not even be able to verbalise that we are angry in the first place. Maybe not to whom we are directing our anger. Sometimes it comes out sideways and backwards and all mixed up with other stuff. That’s okay Beloved. We all have our own path. You know, God is big enough to handle your anger. He is much better at it than the loved ones you still have with you. Better than your dog or your coworkers or that jackass that cut you off in traffic this morning. Anger is a many faceted thing. If anger were a jewel and 10 people gathered in a circle around it you would get 10 different descriptions of it. It would evoke 10 different emotions. Speaking for myself, I am better able to deal with various stuff in my life when I learn to recognise the anger that has wrapped itself around it. Does that make sense to you Beloved?
I am sure that if you have read even a little of my various and sundry writings you have gathered that I am not much of a purist about anything. This I know that I know, God created us, He planted within us, (the global everything that lives kind of us), the ability to evolve, and He can handle whatever we might throw at Him. Bottom line for me is this Beloved. It is OKAY to be angry. It is OKAY to not be able to put it into words. It is OKAY to be who you are. Have faith that you will survive. Have faith that the pain and the anger will become more manageable. Please note that I did not say it will go away, it won’t, but it will change, Beloved. Have faith enough to be angry at God.
As always Beloved I will listen.
Have a lovely….
