(maybe more) I don't say this to point a finger at your dad, but rather to show what we must guard against. I'm sure we've all been there and have experienced these feelings, but Christ can overcome all things and if we abide in Him.<BR/><BR/>We should forgive those who have wronged us, be content with what God has provided for us and not long for what others have, we should put our hope and trust in Jesus and not despair, and we should not let anger consume us because it could lead to sin and all of the above.<BR/><BR/>My comment may sound like something off the cuff, short, and maybe even unsympathetic but believe me when I tell you, it is truly heartfelt and sincere because I've battled similar issues. My 'short' answer is the bottom line, the conclusion even though there are many things I could have said to lead up to that.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13860562379429311961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33193324.post-34161994878312654242007-11-11T15:36:00.000-08:002007-11-11T15:36:00.000-08:00Very powerful and very moving Lance.

When I went to this Christian conference on fear, I bought a book called Grief and Pain in the Plan of God: Christian Assureance & The Message of Lamentations. It has been a project of mine to study Jeremiah verse by verse--I did it with Isaiah, but I haven't done so as of yet. Odd, Isaiah writes in 53 of the man acquainted with our sorrows, yet Jeremiah could also be that man as well in the most human form: focusing on the pain without seeing the path or the light at the end of the tunnel that spells a new creation. Just a thought.<BR/><BR/>My father went through much of that before he died, so I do understand and two of my siblings never forgave him. What does it really mean to be alone? We were born as such and will leave the same way. I can handle being alone, but loneliness and isolation is another thing. I think when we say "alone", we really mean "misunderstood", "unconnected", "alienated". It can happen in a crowd of people. It can happen in a marriage. I believe most people, in fact ALL people suffer from this. One could say that if one trusts and believes in Christ's promises in the Gospels, we will know that we are not alone. But that just doesn't cut it for those in extreme pain. Instead, we accept this as a reality of the human condition and trust that the pain will not be constant, even though it may return. Despite the scars I have from so much grief and loss, I truly believe all things work out for the good of God, and he is perfecting us. But it hurts and I know I am not afraid to tell him so. Life isn't meant to be fair; it simply is.Enemy of the Republichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17342253341470198835noreply@blogger.com
