if you are a good, card-carrying, church going person you would never admit to this..or if you did you would give some smarmy, euphemistic- laden (the substitution of a mild, indirect or vague expression for one thought to be offensive, harsh, blunt (note: or REAL) remark that really doesn't mean anything...and certainly does not set you up to be black listed and politely avoided by the other righteous people of the fellowship.
very few people-church going, pagan or other- are honest about being angry with what (how can one avoid it) GOD puts them through. it is a very good thing to be honest- with yourself, God and others, in that order- about this. it is good to lay hold of God in prayer, it is good to seek to do His will, no matter how excruciating, until you see God doing luke 14.27 in you in a spirit of I thess. 5.16,18. once I find myself standing, with a deep spirit of LORD, YOU A-L-O-N-E ARE E-N-O-U-G-H! this garbage can i live in will be just a joy filled anteroom to being with HIM!
luke 14.27 - whoever does not carry his own cross and come after Me CANNOT BE MY DISCIPLE.
CARRY, to me is DEAL WITH, THANK GOD FOR, DON'T COMPLAIN ABOUT or seek in subtle ways to get others to notice and feel sorry for you.
I thessalonians 5.16 REJOICE ALWAYS
I thessalonians 5.18 - IN EVERYTHING GIVE THANKS, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus.
