Still angry, I'm afraid

Thought that I'd try SureFish's daily readings for a week (depending on the availability of time), starting with http://www.surefish.co.uk/faith/daily_readings/08_aug/01.htm.

Not the best reading for those who feel angry.

I think God is OK with us being angry and if that's how we feel it's best to tell him all about it without pretending.

Sometimes it even helps to tell other people that things they have done make us feel angry, but we need to be careful how we go about doing that.

Often we need to let the anger out and deal with it before we can move on to anywhere near a place where we can bless those who curse us etc (and even then it'll probably only be on a good day). I think these are things to aim for as we allow the Holy Spirit to work in our lives, but few achieve it totally. If we become just a bit more like that it is a major achievement.

God bless you, Chas.
