AC 10559 - Indignation Against God

AC 10559 [1-2]

. . . a person . . . is indignant against God
if he does not obtain his desires.

This is done by all those
who are in external things without what is internal,
for if they reverence and adore God,
and as it were love Him,
it is not for His own sake,
but for the sake of themselves,
because they desire nothing else
than eminence above others
and wealth beyond others,
this being the fire
which excites their reverence and adoration,
and as it were their love.
But if they do not obtain what they desire,
they forsake God.
