Does God hold a grudge against those who are angry with or hold a grudge against him? I have a facial deformity that has kept me distant and mistrusting of God for most of my life. I have blamed God for allowing my malady to happen.
At 62, I find myself going to Al-Anon meetings because of alcohol addiction in my family. One of the reoccurring themes is handing over our problems to God - let go and let God is the exact slogan. I find that my forward progress is somewhat limited because I have this deep-seated mistrust that God has my back. If he allowed my deformity, what other negative things await me?
On one hand, I have a willingness to let go, but it is counteracted upon by my ego, inner voice, something that won't let me release the anger and resentment I still hold.
Does God withhold grace and rewards from those who are angry and resentful of him?
