I sure hope you have a good day today, because it looks from your website like you’ve been having a lot of bad days. Do you live day to day just angry all the time? Jesus said, “Come to me all who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest.” You look like you could use some rest. If you live in anger and frustration all the time, you’re letting this world steal away your joy. That’s one of the fruits of the Spirit, you know. So are gentleness and peace.
Good bless you and have a wonderful day!

Bless the Lord, Benjamin, we don’t live in anger and frustration all or even most of the time. That’s your assumption based on disagreement with the truth the Lord has given us that exposes liars, cheats, and the willfully deluded.
You have no idea what our lives are like, do you? You also speak in total ignorance of the record of the Scriptures regarding what the lives of His servants are like:
2 Corinthians 6:3-10 MKJV
(3) We are in nothing giving cause of stumbling, in no way, so that the ministry may not be blamed,
(4) but in everything commending ourselves as God’s servants, in much patience, in troubles, in emergencies, in distresses,
(5) in stripes, in imprisonments, in riots, in labors, in watchings, in fastings;
(6) in pureness, in knowledge, in long-suffering, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in love unfeigned,
(7) in the Word of Truth, in the power of God, through the weapons of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
(8) through glory and dishonor, through evil report and good report; as deceivers and yet true;
(9) as unknown and yet well known; as dying and, behold, we live; as chastened and not killed;
(10) as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, yet possessing all things.
You wouldn’t be held accountable for your ignorance if you owned up to it and truthfully said you don’t know, but instead you speak as a well-informed follower of Jesus Christ, taking his Name in vain. You’re experiencing the joy of a fool, Benjamin, not the joy of the wise.
“Do you know this from days of old, from the setting of man on earth, that the exulting of the wicked is short, and the joy of the ungodly is for a moment?” (Job 20:4-5)
“The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning, but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth. It is better for a man to hear the rebuke of the wise than to hear the song of fools” (Ecclesiastes 7:4-5).
We declare to you in all truth and solemnity that we are having wonderful days. God has been, IS and will be blessing us. Your eye has not seen and your ear has not heard the things God has graciously bestowed on us and those who love Him.
