Anger is part of healing. Injustice arouses much anger. Such anger should not to be whitewashed but faced squarely and worked through until you find the peace you deserve. Maybe some get away with their crimes in this world. But this is a very brief world compared to what they face in the next. Moreover, I’m about to show that fewer escape than we suppose. You can heal. Unless people who hurt you face what they did and repent – truly regret what they did – they spend their lives running, even if it doesn’t show. I once sat down with a man who had committed murder. He shot a man in cold blood, blowing his head off while the man was on his knees, looking into his eyes, begging for his life. He never was caught for it; never served time. There was no justice for the victim. Or so it seemed. He confided to me that the man he had killed was always with him, haunting his dreams and his waking moments; ruining his sleep and spoiling his carefree times. He took drugs to run from that man but far too soon the victim was back in his head again. Outwardly, he seemed normal and did well, but inside he was in perpetual torment. Then he suffered a serious car accident and ended up in the hospital. He got over a million dollars worth of free care at tax payers’ expense. The hospital called me, saying he was asking for me. The staff couldn’t understand and neither could his family. He was calling out to someone. “Go away! Forgive me! Leave me alone! Help me! Forgive me!” Of course, there was no way for this man to receive the dead man’s forgiveness. When I arrived he grabbed me in desperation, telling me that the man he shot was standing in his room watching him. He pleaded with me to make the victim go away. For years, everyone had thought he was prospering, but all the while he had been tormented by guilt and horror. 

Anyone unable to feel guilt is missing the opportunity to repent, thus causing his sin to consume him more than ever. Such a person has hell to face. 

 You are connected to the living God. Eternal life is flowing through your veins and with God you will push through every obstacle to endless victory. Who has it the worst? Who will suffer the most? You who are getting healed? 

You have every right to be angry. Allow yourself to express those deep emotions. Pour them out to God. He is more than big enough to take them. But don’t forget the big picture. In the end, those who avail themselves of God’s grace win.
