About 'speaking' our faith gently

Someone wrote recently that Jesus vented his wrath forcefully,
implying, I thought, our right to do likewise.
Some thoughts on this:

Jesus is God.
His is absolute authority,
to be wielded as a particular situation requires.

We are but God's children;
most of us, at some time or another,
failing and flailing about in ever-increasing circles.

It behoves us then, surely,
to speak to others as, in some way,
co-respondents in the ills and evils of life,
humbly looking to God to pull us up by our bootstraps,
loathe, always, to jump down the throats of others.
