I discovered that burying feelings didn’t make them go away; rather, it led to anger, fear, and depression. I thought I’d moved on, but I was carrying the baggage from those unexpressed raw emotions with me. It might feel more “Christian” not to bring our anger, pain, or disappointment to God, but I believe it’s actually the antithesis of a real relationship with Christ. We become a little less authentic with every experience we bury.
