I just finished a lesson in my Bible study homework this morning and came across an interesting thought. The author spoke of having "a respectable fit" before God when we encounter those hard situations that sock us in the gut in which we do not have the words or answers for.
A respectable fit?
Please...
Yes, God Almighty deserves reverence and the utmost of respect--but let's be honest here, those aren't the only attributes of God. He's also our father.
What father has never experienced the total, sprawled out on the floor, kicking and screaming tantrum of their two-year old?
Exactly.
Respectable fit...okay, perhaps in a public setting. But when it's just me and God, and I'm really wrestling with something--the tears, screams, and fists are flying. I find more comfort in my soul in having an outright tantrum before God than simply silent questioning.
Right or wrong...who knows?
But God still loves me anyway.
