Get the appHope Beyond Despair: Finding Truth After A Loved One’s Suicideნიმუში
LIE #5: God was wrong to let my loved one die.
“It’s not fair!” That was my thought after hearing about my brother’s death. I had trouble seeing God’s goodness. I thought I knew Him to be a good God, but it didn’t look that way in this situation. It appeared He had done wrong.
TRUTH: God’s supreme rule is always consistent with the beauty of His divine character.
It is human nature to charge God with wrong when things don’t go our way. Anger and blame come from swallowing the lie that God is not good. But God is wise, good, righteous, loving, and more. Therefore, He always rules with wisdom, goodness, righteousness, and love—along with His other attributes.
About this Plan
There is no heartache equal to that of losing a loved one. Unanswered questions, despair, and perhaps self-blame can leave those left behind with feelings of hopelessness. This 16-day plan examines biblical examples of suicide as well as the smorgasbord of lies we are tempted to believe in a suicide situation. Replacing these lies with God’s Truth will bring healing and comfort to those left behind.
