This is what we were discussing in a group I lead:
God is not intimidated by our feelings or our anger or our being honest when we talk to him. His love for us causes him to see us at the end of our struggle, in our victory, no matter where we are in the process. He is not phased by the messiness as we fight to get to where he is taking us, nor does he pat us on the head with some condescending attitude that our hurt is a small thing. He lets us cry. He lets us feel and express those feelings (though self control is a must). He never sees us as unlovely or unlovable. He always sees us in our victory...

Here is a video link that someone mentioned, that goes right along with what we were discussing. So good.

Man or Woman, working through Life's hurts can be a crazy walk, but we are never alone in it. God is with us, he feels our tears and our joys because he has walked the yuck that is this life in a temporary broken world.
Where ever you are in the process, be encouraged. You can be honest with God (always with respect), but you don't have to be fake. You are free to be real. God wants sincere and honest conversations with us... that's the only way to know true intimacy in relationship.
