Bible Question:
Good Morning everyone I am new but I have a very difficult question... My younger Cousin who is 21 years old is going thru a very difficilt time. She is the mother to 2 beautiful boys..and the Kids father treats her very badly.. I have no children and I'm 28...so she doesnt take my advise on the matter He abuses her physically and also doesnt see his sons at all... She has told me that he has another Baby on the way by another woman...and she is hurting..this was her first love She beleive in her heart and has Faith that God will change him...and this causes me great pain..because I know god can do anything...so I dont want to damper her faith....but in a situation like this...what do I tell her....what verse can I refer to to give her understanding. I went thru the same thing before in my life where as I prayed and prayed for a child and for that man to love me back...I am not saying God is a failure, because he simply cannot fail and connot tell a lie.... But if someone is hurting you..then I would think this is a clear indication that he isnt for you. She is also looking at her Grandmas situation...where she stood by Her husband thru drugs and alchol..and he made it thru...But they are not married and she believe one day they will be..even tho...he has another baby on the way and he abuses her and he doesnt do anything for his children. I just believe God has a diffrent plan for her and dont know how to tell her becuse she is still holding on.(seriously)...to the fact that God will change him or he will grow up and realize her worth... Please any Bible verse I can refer to and also a Prayer from you on this situation would be more than appreciated.. Love Chrissy |
Bible Answer: Chrissy: About all any member of this Forum can do for you and your cousin is to pray for you. Your brief sketch of your younger cousin's plight indicates that she should be a candidate for counselling by qualified Christian professionals. God's word is His message to humankind and can be properly understood in full context, but I don't believe that lifting an isolated verse here and there out of context is the proper way to approach Scripture or to ascertain the will of God. Encourage your young cousin to be realistic and face the situation squarely, to seek solid counsel, and not to engage in wishful thinking or rely on pipe dreams. According to your report, this young woman is being abused and her small children neglected. She needs immediate help on behalf of herself and her children. Urge her with all your power to get it as quickly as possible. --Hank |
