The significance of the Father image cannot be overstated. It can be understood as originating from within rather than external to ourselves. This concept has been a subject of contemplation for me over an extended period. At the heart of this contemplation lies the recognition of how our personal experiences of anger are intricately linked to our need for validation and acceptance, particularly in our earthly relationships. The intensity of our anger towards those who have caused us pain is often directly proportional to the closeness of our relationship with them. When we are able to rationalize and justify our anger, it can lead to a deep and meaningful connection with the concept of paternal love.

The desire for an ideal, unwavering trust in relationships is universal. Any deviation from this standard can elicit a strong emotional response, often manifesting as anger. In the past, the Jewish community would deem a family member as deceased if they failed to display loyalty to their religious group. This practice was rooted in a profound sense of anger, as disloyalty was equated with the act of murder. Thus, the emotion of hatred towards another individual could effectively be seen as an extension of this concept of murder.

I do not agree with the concept of disowning a child, but I believe that the anger we feel is a form of divine communication from God. God's righteous indignation is powerful, like lightning striking a mountain and reducing it to smoke. I think that any disconnection we feel from God is a result of hidden anger within us. While some may believe that God's love should overcome our anger, I have personally experienced God's righteous anger consuming my own anger. In recent years, I have faced unjust loss which has had a significant impact on my life, prompting me to confront my inner anger. When I apply certain Psalms to my emotions, I feel a strong sense of anger, eventually leading me closer to a sense of justice. I have found that no matter how great the injustice or intense my anger, God's personal care for me ultimately prevails and helps me heal.
