I'm learning that it is difficult (impossible, really) to sustain angry, destructive, negative feelings and thoughts about someone for whom I am praying in authentic love. The challenge I've faced in my own walk is the jarring, indisputable awareness that the person who provokes in me the deepest anger, loathing, disgust, revulsion and even hatred...provokes in God the deepest love, adoration, dreams for good, and hopes for their future.

He instructs me to join HIM in loving, rather than agreeing to join me in my 'righteous' anger, even when I'm clearly justified in my negative feelings toward that person. As noted, God is angry at what caused the person to become as they are, not at them for being harmed.



Jesus is here.  All is well.

I am Daniel
