Angry with God

(1/3) > >>

Terry:
I just wanted to share this with my friends here at BT. I was visiting my Mom at the hospital the other day who was fighting for her life to breathe due to advanced emphysema,i mean she was so pitiful that i couldn't help but cry for her and durning this my thoughts went toward God, WHY, Why God,why must you let her suffer like this, i mean she is 73 yrs.old just take her, well my friends i'm a shame to say this but at that time i failed God i was so mad at God for what was happening to my Mom i mean i actually turned on God, i was angry, i was mad in my heart and mind toward God, and then 5 minutes later this verse came to me

"He that loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me: and he that loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me" (Matt. 10:37).

You see i thought since i have been here at BT for about 2 years i have learned so much and i have and i felt in my heart that since God had called me out that i must truely love God,so when God showed me this verse i cried again but this time is was from shame from what i had felt in my heart toward God.I now see that God loves us so much that all these things must happen that we may know these truths,and because of all that happened i now see things better and feel that i love God more than ever. I must say before all of this i really didn't think to much about that verse but now i think i get it.
God Bless
Terry

Terry,
I do not have any great words of wisdom for you. But I will tell you that you are not alone. I would be lying if I told you I never felt that way. I too have been confused and angry with God. The positive part is the level of awareness that you have. I will pray for your and your mothers Peace, Grace, Understanding and Comfort. Be faithful as he is faithful.

Hi Terry.

You have every right to grieve for your mother...

In Revelation 1:10 &  12 John, "…heard behind" him, a trumpet, and he "turned  to see…" 

And from this we learn it is only when we look back in our lives, that we see what we didn't see when it was actually happening...

My father died some years ago...It was not easy...

...But God has it that it is through tough experiences that we learn the most.

If we are to love our enemies and pray for, of course we should do the same for our family...

God be in you.

Sometimes I think it is good to remember just who we are. Little creatures made out of dust, physically born and physically die. Of course I am older and have seen many die. I have accepted this as part of life but it still can be difficult when you love someone, that is natural.  Judy

Roy Coates:
Still praying for you Terry and your mother. Keep us posted
