JUDGING ANOTHER

I am going through what feels like chastisement from

God.  I posted "Where Did She Go." in my journal when

I suppose it should either not been written, or perhaps

it should have gone on the Grief & Loss board.

 

The main point I am making here is, I have been shown

in love and concern from another, that I have actually

been judging my daughter.  The poster didn't say I was

doing that, I realized after an hour long  of weeping, what

was happening.  God, does discipline those whom He

loves.  After tossing and turning most of the night, searching

my heart and questioning God why He let this happen,

He showed me.

 

You see I have degraded my daughters memory by sharing

her downfalls.  I judged her.  I judged my own child.  Now I

must try to get over the dishonor I have brought to her name.

I acted like Miss Goody Two Shoes, when in fact she was

the better Christian than I am.  I had no clue that was what I

was doing, until the slap in the face came last night.

Sometimes we just have to be awakened to our faults.

 

Pride does go before the fall, people...  I have fallen pretty

low.  I can't take back what I have written.  Even though she

herself, was an open book, and things I shared were true of

her life, she turned out to be the one who deserves a Crown

upon her head for doing things for others I have not done.

 

So, I have learned something very painful, and it makes me

sick.  I have judged another.  May God forgive me for thinking

myself better than my  child.  

 

With opened eyes, I am....

You did no wrong! Even I, as a Solitary Single, could feel your Pain at the twists and turns your Daughter was making with her Life. We all want our Families to sail thru Life Trouble Free. You noted that she had a Buried Angel in her. Feel no shame at sharing your Pain! "Let He ,who is without Sin, Cast The First Stone!" Art

Thank you. I tried so hard to be the perfect mother.
When things didn't go the way I had hoped for her, at
least we were able to stay Mother and daughter. She
was always telling me I was a wonderful Mother, yet I
know in my heart I wanted so badly for her to be able
to know a life of peace and love. But, no amount of
Mothers love can make another change.

I have repented. Oh, God, how I have. Last night I
just wanted to go to her grave and lie on top of it and
cover her with my love. But I will be beside her before
too long, so, that will have to do.

You are kind. Everyone is kind and understanding.

God Bless You,
Judy

good morning friend!!!
i think grief causes us to do and say things we would not normally choose to do(or say) we tend to punish ourselves when we realize some of the things we have done. this punishment is not necessary because God knows our hearts and He knows our pain.
If you have remorse for this and have repented,He also knows that. Only God is qualified to judge any of us and i know you are a firm, god fearing beleiver.
sometimes we tend to dwell on our situations so much we become over whelmed and i think this is happening to you.
the bible teaches us that no one is perfect so i pray you forgive yourself because i know your god has forgiven you! talk to you soon.....love in christ, dillieg
