What's this "he" business with God? Plainly God isn't a 'he' or for that matter a 'she'. Speaking in such ways immediately suggests that we're unable to shake off the shackles of traditional thinking, rendering discussion of any aspect of God almost meaningless. If we speak of God as a male form then we're thinking about God in such a way too and seems to show that we are are mentally unable to move away from the male/female world in which we live....

Of course God is love but to suggest that the supreme creator would be unable to understand negative emotions of any description is myopic in the extreme.
