‘MY BED, MY CAVE’

I love my bed! It’s so safe and comforting.
It hides me from the world and keeps me secure with my thoughts and sorrows. Do I have to leave it? I don’t want to see people – I don’t want to talk. I don’t even want to get bathed and dressed…I have me and my thoughts. Food – what is that?

Beloved, you must be wondering “who is this person, what is she talking about?”

I am a pastor, beloved of the Lord, serving my Master for many years with my precious husband, saved at the age of 17 and yet…….yes, and yet!

I was deep in depression, rebellious and angry. You see, the Father wanted my husband of 63 years to be with Him and so He took him…but not only him but a week later my son-in-law passed into glory and 8 months later took my only promised son in a car accident. I lost my house, my car, and I felt destitute. And, what is more I WAS ANGRY…ANGRY WITH MY LORD AND SAVIOUR.

The Word says “Be angry but sin not: do not let the sun go down on your wrath, nor give place to the devil” (Eph.4:26, 27) Did I not have the right to be angry with my God? Wasn’t my grief and loneliness worthy of righteous anger?

I decided to opt out of society and asked the Lord to take me home……did He answer my prayer?
