IF THERE REALLY IS A GOD, WHY DID HE MAKE MY MUM SUFFER FOR A YEAR WITH A AWFUL ILLNESS, THEN TAKE HER AWAY FROM HER HUSBAND, CHILDREN, GRANDCHILD AND REST OF THE FAMILY AND FRIENDS. SHE WAS A GOOD PERSON, A YOUNG PERSON WHO WANTED TO STAY WITH HER FAMILY AND FRIENDS

There is no good answer to that question.   Sorry for your losses.

I am not a great believer in the God theory, so I'm not surprised that he/she hasn't been back since the old biblical days.\nIf there is a God, perhaps he doesn't like what he sees, and has washed his hands of the whole mess.

As I understand that your intention was for the sake of your mother and taking care of your mother is something that God advises and rewards you for.\n\nYet, you made a mistake to threaten another person, and you with the good heart you have can go appologize to that man and this will be rewarded by God too and surely your mom who did not do anything that God would not like will be happy for you because you are obeying your God through asking for this man understanding and forgivness for what you did and I am sure he will understand.\n\nAlso, let it be a lesson that Good cause would always need to use good means to achieve it although sometimes it is really hard and I feel sympathy with you and Let us pray that God bless your mothers soul as well as yours.

My aunt was in the hospital dying of cancer. Her doctors had given up hope. The look on her face was she was at death's door. She told my mother that she needed to leave the hospital. She needed to be around people who were praying for her. In order to live, she needed to leave. She was bed ridden and often hallucinating. She some how convinced everyone to bring her home. \nDay one at home she was able to speak clearly and reason. Day two she was able to get out of bed with assistance. Day three she was up walking around her house and talking as if she had never been dying. I was right there for it all, this was a miracle.

You can't force God on anyone they have to except him on there own. Have you ever taken the time to see, if he would be interested in finding God.

Very bad, people take God out of their lives and then get angry and wonder why God wasn't there for them when they needed him.

Hi, from what I can gather from this you are a practicing Christian and have tried to do your Christian duty by your friend and now you are a little hurt and maybe confused at how she and her dad have turned on you, well it seems to me that they are in turmoil at this time and are hurting very much, and sick with worry, perhaps they are angry with God for their situation and that He does not appear to be doing anything to help them, and you in a sense represent God to them if you know what I mean, so you were the visible means with which they could vent their anger and frustration.\nplease do not take this too personally, none of this is your fault, the best thing to do is to give them time and space to come fully to terms with this awful event in their lives and just pray very hard for them.\nperhaps you could get together with some like-minded people and have some time of intercessery prayer on the families behalf, as they may be at such a low ebb that they cannot pray for themselves.\nI will pray for them and yourself, meanwhile try to be at peace, you will do much more this way.\nGod bless all concerned in this.

Yes,nothing is impossible for God.  He said in His Word that without FAITH it is impossible to please Him.  You, your aunt and any other born-again believers need to be in agreement(by that I mean get together by phone or in person) and state out of you mouths that this is what you are expecting, not wanting to know if He will, but expecting Him to do.  He says that we can call those things that be not as though they were.  Speak health into your aunts' body.  Did you know that God searches the world over trying to find that one with the faith that He may move on their behalf?  Once He has healed her, be sure to give Him thanks and the Glory.  I know first hand what it is like.  My mother had a brain tumor the size of a grapefruit the doctors said.  The road to her recovery wasn't instantaneous.  But I can say that thru prayer, the Lord and her doctors, 9 years later she is still here.  She is not the mother that we knew before, SHE IS BETTER.  I give God the glory and the praise for that.  I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ for I know Him and who He is.   May God Bless Aunt Cee Cee and you.

I see this poem as a heart felt poem with a lot of deep sorrow, If this is your life experience I am very sorry that this has happened to you.\nLoosing a child can be very painful, which I'm sure it would be for you if this is what happened, for you but I would also like to say to you that the true and Almighty God is aware of and feeling your pain in compassion and that is also the reason for his promise, many people who have gone or are going through a similar experience, and asking why?This promise I just spoke of is found in Revelation Ch21:verse4)and it is a very heartwarming one where God promises to wipe away every tear from mankind's eyes, and that he will actually swallow up death, mourning and sorrow,and pain will be no more.The dead will be resurrected to life again becoming conscious again, is this not a wonder full promise from a very loving God, who cares very deeply for us, and our pains even past experiences will have gone from our minds, and the ones that caused those pains will be punished, so any who have perpetrated pain to others, will be dealt with justly

this is where people tell you that god works in mysterious ways. I wouldn't say that because it would piss me off if i were in your place. I'm sorry about your son. I don't know what to tell you about god, but I hope your son gets better.

Where is God when it hurts.\n\nThis is one of those awful situations, why do bad things happen, why does God allow sufferring? \n\nI don't exactly know the answer, but I do know that God wants you to rely on him to get through it, because he can bring healing and wholeness, I know this as first hand experience, I was going to walk away from God and not look back and he gently showed me he loved me and had a better plan. \n\nFaith is believing the what God has revealed trusting him, with out outside influence. \n\nTrust God he loves you and your friend who suicided. I am so sorry for your loss and that it still causes you pain.\n\nCast all your cares on God, for he cares for you. Allow him to heal you.\n\nYou are so special and God has a plan and purpose for your life.

I'm a woman(mother) pastor my 19 year old is atheist,the wrong thing for her mother to do is make her go to church,you guys have to make your own decision about Church and God,because she cant get into heaven on account of her mother she has to get into heaven on account of her own will.

Well girl I have to commend you on your patience and understanding of his illness.  It takes a Strong person emotionally to be able to stand by him through all of this.  But now that it is all said and done and he is still treating you like crap.  That should tell you some thing.  I won't tell you to stay or leave.  You will have to decide that for your self.  As my mother told me once, life is to short for one or both to live it being miserable.  And she was a firm believer in marriage, you take the good with the bad.  But when one is hurting the other so bad that it is killing them inside it's time to make a decision.  And yes God will forgive you if you leave.  He is a forgiving and loving God.   He understands what you have been through.  Pray for guidance.  God did not put us here to be a door Matt for abuse.  You have a right to be happy.  And I can see that your night.  You need to do what is right for you.  It will take time for the wounds to heal. But as long as you are with him they will never heal.  Things will just get worse.  Good luck do what is right for you.

I think perhaps God should make decisions like those. Medical Science is great and all but God has power over all things. Choose your child. From the mother's stand point what better way to die, than by giving another life. Greater love has no man than this, that he lay down his life for a friend. (I think baby relatives count too.) From the father's stand point what better way to show God you totally trust him? A friend of mine was told about six months ago that she should abort her child because he would never breathe on his own, his skull would not be formed,his facial features would be distorted, and the child's brain would be in essence.... dead.Pam and Mike were basically told to kill their unborn child because a medical test "proved" it would be for the best. Rather than putting their faith in medicine they put their faith in God and  today a miracle happened. Pam gave birth to a basically healthly child. He is breathing just fine all by himself, despite some minor physical abnormalities he is a beautiful healthy child. Praise God for this precious life! If Mike would have put his faith in science, or Pam had chosen instead to have her baby aborted because something might be wrong.... well the world would have missed out on this brand new perfect life. The real question is not who can I save? But, in whom can I put my faith? You have no control over life or death, which means YOU can NOT Choose who lives. ie. If the father decides "choose" to abort the child who is to say that during the procedure the mother would not also die? It has happened. an abortion requires a serious, though minimally invasive, surgical procedure.It's called a Dilitation and Curretage more commonly refered to as a D&C.(not only for decicive abortions, a D&C is commonly done on women who have had a spontaneous abortion or miscarriage to prevent uterine infections)I personally have seen (working on a surgical floor) women who have nearly died from complications of this "minimally invasive" procedure.If you put your faith in God he will direct your path.

First off you have my condolences on your loss. I too believe that taking your own life is a major sin as God is the Master of life and death.  There are many reasons why people feel they must end their own lives, and to those they leave behind, those reasons always seem inadequate. The Good Lord above understands why, and what was in their heart.  Judgment should be left to God alone, we place our values when passing judgment on others, and our values are not Gods. God may have very well have forgiven your husbands cousin.  I understand your dilemma about this, but my best advice to you would be to pray for his soul and speaking to your pastor about this sounds like a step in the right direction. I pray for you and your family that you may have peace.
