Writer Regina Brett's life lessons are great little nuggets of wisdom. There's something for everyone! I'll be reflecting on this week's lesson: "It's OK to get angry with God. He can take it."
Some may see this musing to be somewhat blasphemous. But remember, you can love someone and still get angry with them at the same time. Think back to when you were a child. Sometimes, you wanted things that weren't good for you. Did your parents agree to give into your demands, throwing caution to the wind and ignoring your safety or well-being? Of course not! Did you get angry with them, failing to see what their intentions were? Heck, yes!
Our relationship with God is much the same way as the one with our parents. It is His job to guide and protect us. Sometimes, the things that He does are beyond our comprehension (and may well always be!), and getting angry about loss or pain is natural. God knows and understands this. Remember to make up with Him once your anger has subsided, though.
