Bible Question: ... |
Bible Answer: George - The mark of maturity is when we assume responsibility for our own actions, some of which you have done here - yet it appears to me that you are not only name calling but blaming the results of your own poor conduct on others and/or The Lockman foundation. You stated that you "feel that you have been wronged." I encourage you to examine the root of those feelings. Are you looking for man's approval here? Are you angry that you didn't meet some standard that you had set for yourself? Please consider these possibilities. Lastly, God knows all about this experience and I encourage you to trust HIM with the outcome. What might He be trying to teach to you about Himself? About you? Peace, mommapbs |
