Misdirected Anger ??
Read: Psalm 13:1-6
How long can you stay mad at God?
When a loved one is "on the way out" and all around know it
and have accepted it – why is the loved one's "departure"
held in abeyance for day after day. I don't mean any inconvenience on
the parts of those gathered around, but rather the indignity and
unfairness suffered by the "patient."
No way is it fair to have someone linger on unable to communicate, to
have hospital employees or others check "vitals" when they
know it doesn't matter and all the while "God knows!”
It makes me wonder if sometimes God's mysterious ways are malevolent
ways. It makes no sense to me that this can go on in some instances
for months or even years.
How long can you stay mad at God? I don't know yet but I'm slowly
accepting "Thy will be done" even though this seems to be
counter intuitive with the belief in a loving God. It's hard to know
with our limited perspective but perhaps will be understood in the
next life. As of now – I'm still mad.
The above was written about a year ago and since then I have come to
appreciate the fact that plan A (God's) was the better one.
I still don't understand the "delay," but I am accepting
rather than angry.
I debated submitting these thoughts from last year, but figured
someone may take comfort knowing he or she was not alone in thoughts
like these.
