WHY GOD GETS MAD AT US






I can see why God gets mad at us. As an example [one of many]: He has put more beauty in this earth than any of us will ever be able to to enjoy. And we run around like panic-stricken monkeys trying to gather up as many bananas as possible before the net falls on us. Or we get it in our heads that somebody is to blame for our misery and we either spend our life trying to get them to change, or hating them because they won't. We live as if we've got it all figured out while we continue to make ourselves and others miserable—or live in “quiet desperation”, believing that there's no way up. We continue to “stone the prophets” and kill the Truth that God sends to us. Spiritual blindness is real! And we all suffer from some of it. And the blindness is easy to get lost in because we get used to ignoring the pain that results from it. But even if we ignore the pain it doesn't go away; nor should it! That pain is God knocking on the door, offering everything we have ever needed or will ever need to prosper through it. But Satan's in the house [he's in your house!] doing everything he can to keep you from opening that door; offering fake remedies, giving you stuff to numb the pain [and numb you out in the process], convincing you that you're a hopeless victim in it.

Jesus said that He has “overcome the world.” He has overcome all that painful stuff that can drag your soul down into the pit. He said that we are going to have problems, difficulties, setbacks, trials and “tribulation”; but “BE OF GOOD CHEER” He said. Do you hear that? BE OF GOOD CHEER! That's the Lord, Messiah, God in the Flesh speaking. It's an invitation and a command! If He is your Lord, you will be able to obey that command because His Spirit IN YOU will empower you to do so.

Otherwise, you're in the darkness. And there's nothing good there. And God gets mad at you. Because He wants you to come into the Light.
