Have you ever been mad at God?

Promotion from God is not more prestige or advancement by the standards of men....IT may mean more suffering more awareness of what is real - an awareness of who HE IS. To KNOW Him is to KNOW that man made positions mean nothing at all in His sight....Makes me to say, "Woe is Me..."

MATTHEW 16:24-26

24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.

26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

Thanks TalkLady. I agree on one level...I guess in my heart of hearts I agree. But it's hard not to feel like a complete idiot for giving my whole life to pastoring and building churches for something I no longer believe in and have left while I look around at those around me who never did that and went to school, got a degree and now have something to show for it and, although God has been good to us in it all.....my husband has a good job and I have a pretty good one....it makes me wonder about it all. My heart leaps with hope to read the words you wrote from the Bible and my mind says it's just a bunch of religious rhetoric trying to make me feel good for throwing my life into something that was a big waste of time.
