It's a new day. Thank you Lord for your mercies which are new every morning!
Well, if you read my last post you know that I was pretty upset with my husband. He came home from work and apologized and I of course forgave. I had already forgiven in my heart but it needed to be said out loud.
God gets angry. People get angry. I think it's what you do when you are angry that counts. It's also important to understand what made you so upset. Then decide what to do about it. In my case I had to forgive.
My husband doesn't have my skill set. Patience, thinking outside of the box when dealing with an upset child isn't easy. I'm not perfect but I seem to have an easier time with this than he does. There are things he can do that I find so very frustrating. And that is what makes our marriage work. Recognizing our individual strengths and weaknesses. Then bringing them together to form a cohesive team.
Proverbs 2:13
13He who covers his transgressions will not prosper, but whoever confesses and forsakes his sins will obtain mercy.
And that is why we have to be careful to forgive, to not harbor ill will also known as sin. So is it ok for a Christian Woman to get angry with her husband? I'm thinking the answer is "yes". Just be careful to understand why you are angry so you can forgive and move on. You can't minister effectively to someone you are angry with.
On a side note, I just finished a book that really has me thinking. And looking at my life in a different way. The book is "Walk the Walk" by Alan Deutschman. It is well worth your time.
