Having problems with message search?
im not sure who this will go to but i have read everything on the internet
and im just now going through the beginnings of this. i cry all the time know
sometimes i get a headache from crying so much. I hardly ever cried when i
was a child i just ate. I feel so much better each time i cry. i feel more
relaxed. i also have been reading my bible alot after i cry and that gives me
hope especially the story of job. i never realized that it was ok to be angry
with god. but in one of your storys you said it was ok so i allowed myself to
be. Then the other day i was searching through the bible and i came upon job.
job was very angry with god and yet god still loved him.so if there is anyone
who is feeling guilty about being angry with god or with anything else and
they are a christian just tell them to look up job and it will help them to
know that its ok to be angry even at god. well i am still ! working and its my
second week of this but im going to keep on it because i know im on the right
path. Thank you for sharing your story you are a true blessing from god...T.

You have reached me and the group. Hooray for you !! and the headache and crying are good signs of progress. Get mad when you want to eat, but if you eat anyway, not GUILT, guilt it anger turned inward, so get mad again. Yes the Bible is full of wonderful verses that support this. In the Old and New Testaments, there is the advice, "Be angry and do not sin" And the NT word for sin is "hamartia" and archery term meaning to miss the mark. And we missed the mark with our anger for years, either we misdirected it toward others or inward as self destructive thought. And even misdirected anger toward others was unconsciously motivated so we are INNOCENT children, whose justifiable anger was suppressed. Now that we can redirect our anger to the memories of parents, not to them in person, but to their sickness, we can release it all and will come to true forgiveness and love for our parents and all others. And when we get mad at God, we are not getting mad at the !
real God, but only that notion of a judgemental parental figure of God that was no doubt instilled into us by our parents, and other parental figures, like ministers, etc. Get mad at them too.
You might like to read a Red Letter Testament to see what Jesus said about getting angry. Here is some of his words:
"Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household. He that loveth father and mother more than me is not worthy of me."
And again in Luke 14:26, "If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple." I believe he meant to hate the sickness in them and in ourselves.
Thanks for sharing this with us.
