So I do this now with you, dear sister. You and I share in common the recent loss of mothers we were very close to. I used to think God was upset with me when I was sad or frustrated. He showed me something encouraging that I'd like to share with you. He led me to Psalm 103. "Just as a father has compassion on his children, So the LORD has compassion on those who fear Him. For He knows what we are made of, remembering that we are but dust." It was freeing to me to realize He is understanding (more so than some were making Him out to be.) Praise God! We need not go under false guilt when we experience these kind of feelings. He created emotions and tears are not sinful. They are a release. In Absolutely Positive (2nd page) I posted a topic "Thoughts on Tears." I hope this is a comfort to you. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks @turtletwo I just read Psalm 103, and you're right, it does remind us that He understands. Thank you. X 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
