When I Yelled at You

As we wrap up our week thinking about Jonah and how disappointed he was in God, we’ve had to face some of our own disappointments. So how does God handle our disappointments? Take some time to sit with these simple lines, asking the Spirit to speak to you.

When I Yelled at You
H. Edgar Hix

When I yelled at You,
You who taught the thunderbolt to strike,
silently listened.

When I called You unfair,
You who judged angels worthy of Hell
forgave.

When I questioned Your very existence,
You who conceived the sky and the night
waited.

And, when hurt fills my body
and runs like rivers of blood from my eyes,
You who lived Gethsemane
understand.
