Often Christians hide behind the idea that we must treat God like a fragile thing where we can't be honest with our emotions, however he knows our natural emotions whether we proclaim them aloud or not. Proverbs 28:13 says "He who conceals his sins does not prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy." Thank you for acknowledging the honesty we need to have with God. When we recongize these honest emotions with God he clarifies the percieved vs. the actual. <br />~CarlyWorkingForHisGloryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08526601418220961696noreply@blogger.com
