Well, heavenfold, my view is that we are made in God's image. Therefore, perhaps the emotions we feel are, in some way, like God's own expression of Himself. Certainly the Bible gives us an anthropomorphic rendering of things that is more for our benefit than likely an exact portrayal of God...yet I do believe it is accurate. If Scripture tells us God is angry, then I believe that my understanding of anger must, in some way, be like God's response to evil and wickedness.
Of course, I am not sure if you also hold to the Bible as a viable means of understanding the person and work of God in the world, but those are just my thoughts.
Something else to consider:
There are some who argue, philosophically, that our views of God as a distant, totally unlike us being, are based more in Scotian philosophy than how most world religions, including Christianity understood God throughout the ages. What I mean is, most theologians prior to the 1500s understood as our ontology being based out of God's own ontology. We are not separate, distinct and ontologically univocal beings as modern philosophy suggests. The idea that we are entirely separate from the divine creates an infinite gap between God and his creatures that he is wholly other and therefore entirely incomprehensible and unknowable. I mean, if God is infinite and wholly unlike us, then he must also be infinitely distinct and distant from us and therefore in no way relatable to us.
However, I believe nothing exists except by and through God. I believe our being is derived from his being. So while I believe we have truly been given freedom (I am not a pantheist), yet I also believe all things are derived from God's essential being and are expressions of himself. For instance, a tree does not exist independently from God. It is not univocal and does not exist in, of and for itself. No, its existence is based in and through God's existence and the tree (or sunset, or anything else in creation) is an expression of God and a means by which we can understand the divine. I believe the same is true of us...and especially true of us. Our minds, our creativity, our emotions and our concepts of right, wrong, truth and justice are imprinted on us from the divine (although skewed by sin). As a result, I believe we can understand God, because he has made us in his nature and our being is derived from his being.
I hope that isn't to convoluted. Have a good day.
