Bible Question:
How do you keep someone who has just lost a parent from being angry with God? My Boyfriend and I are both disciples/christians a little while after our son was born his mother past away. It has been almost a year now and he has just began to cope with his mother's passing. Along with trying to understand why his mom is gone a lot of questions he has about God has come up and he has also began to wonder if his mom is in heaven or hell. He has a lot of anger in him and I can see him beginning to change, he has become more worldly and less spiritual. He has even stopped praying and reading his bible. As for me it has become really difficult to handle him being unspiritual, now our lives and our beliefs are totally different. We were also planning on getting married this year now everything is placed on hold, because I do not feel good about marrying him being this unspirtual. Also, I would like our son to have a spiritual father who could teach our son about the goodness of God. It hurts me to him going back to his old lifestyle before he became a christian. I want to help him through this and I want us to become a family. But it is becoming very difficult for me to remain spiritual throughout all of this because it feels like I am just giving and giving and nothing is getting any better. I understand it takes a very long time to handle when a parent passes but how do I make him see that God still loves him. I pray that someone out there can give me some good advice on how to deal with this situation. |
Bible Answer: Heaven,Humble yourselves, therefore,under God's hand, that he may lift you up in due time. 1Pet5:6. From personal experience my mother died when I was 14. There was alot of hurt, my dad was not there for us kids. I grew up with pain and anger.When I came to saving grace of Jesus, he became all.Old things are past away , all things become new.March 13 of this year my wife and I lost our son at birth. We don't have any of the answers that God has for us as yet. In due time all will be revealed to us and then again God owes us no explanation for anything he does. If your boy friend is all this shook over the death of his mother maybe he is worried about his own salvation. We need to get away from our selfish ways. This is just another ploy Satan uses to distract us from our goal which is to serve a mighty God.My prayers go out to you and your boy friend. Burning bush |
