Developing the Divine Attribute of Suffering

Often when we talk about God and becoming more like Him, we dwell on emotions or attributes that are positive and feel good. Feelings like love, charity, understanding, and patience.  We seldom focus on emotions like anger, frustration, jealousy, and hate. Somewhere in our earthly learning we have come to believe that God doesn’t feel those things and so if we do, then we are doing something wrong and are in some way bad. Coach April Price is on the podcast today talking about how the exact opposite is true. It is not that God is sitting in a constant state of love and happiness while never feeling negative emotion. What He is actually doing is feeling all the negative emotion and then consciously choosing the love, the understanding, and the patience through His agency.
