Clarification on God's Love

Let me clarify a statement from yesterday's post. Ronnie, you're right, I don't think God gets angry with us, although continued rebellion will lead to anger. I believe that when we sin, God is disappointed with us. This is the same kind of disapoointment parents feel when their children mess up. We don't get mad at first, but if there is no repentance and change in behavior, that disappointment slowly moves to anger. We see this over and over in God's dealing with the Israelites. They were warned to come back to God and when they didn't God had to punish them. In the passage of scripture I referenced yesterday, Zechariah 1, God did have anger that burned against the Israelites when they turned their backs on Him. This is why He sent them into exile for 70 years under the Babylonians and Persians. God even tells the remnant that He had been angry with their forefathers. This passage is a clear call to the nation, and to us today, to return to him by confessing our sins and seeking Him. I hope that explains things a little better.
