Your Question:
Why did God let my mom die?
Answer:
My friend, I can sense the pain and confusion in your question. It's a question that many of us have asked at some point in our lives. Why did God let your mom die? It's a question that can be especially difficult to answer, especially when we're struggling to understand the will of God. As a pastor, I've had to grapple with this question myself, and I've come to realize that it's not always easy to provide a clear answer. But what I do know is that God's ways are not our ways, and His thoughts are not our thoughts (Isaiah 55:8-9). He sees the big picture, and sometimes that means allowing difficult things to happen in our lives. It's not that God is uncaring or unloving, but rather that He is working out a greater good that we may not be able to see. I want to share a story with you that might help bring some comfort. I had a friend who was struggling with the loss of a loved one, and they asked me, "If God loved our mother, why didn't He heal her?" I told them that God wants us to have faith in Him in spite of our circumstances. He promises us that He will never leave us, but He never promised us an easy time (Hebrews 13:5). Sometimes, we have to walk through the valley of the shadow of death (Psalm 23:4), but even in the midst of pain and suffering, God is with us, and He is working out a greater good.
