Ck 1: Nearly 13 years ago my wife and I lost our son, David, at the hands of a drunken driver in an automobile crash. So I tell you truly that I can empathize with you in your sorrow. In the wake of this tragedy I was numb, dazed, depressed and angry -- fiery-red angry -- not only at the senseless act by the irresponsible drunk, but even at God. "Why, God, why on earth did You take my son?" I asked over and over. More than once I said, "God, please forgive me for saying this, but I just want you to know that I'm angry with You." Well, the pent-up anger had to be vented somewhere, and God got the brunt of it. And He heard and in His good time, He answered and healed my wounds, mended my spirit and now -- 13 years later -- although the scar remains, the pain is gone, my faith is stronger than ever, my trust in God has never been more complete, for He has used this tragedy to His glory in so many ways that I cannot begin to enumerate here on this single post. My beloved, I leave you with three brief thoughts. (1) Trust God, never stop trusting God, ask him to help you, and He will see you through. (2) Don't be ashamed, backward or afraid to talk out your grief and frustrations with friends, family, a caring pastor. Don't be embarrassed to say "I hurt." (3) Read and meditate every day on Psalm 23 and other passages of God's word that let you know that the Lord is indeed your Shepherd. God be with you and your family in this hour of deep sorrow. I shall remember you in my prayers. --Hank | ||||||
