Question To Everyone: Has anyone said this to you?

We got a new co-worker where i work at
she started last week, well my other
co-workers were mentioning to this new
girl about my chronic pain and how i got
it, etc.. well guess what this new lady
said to me????
she said "well Kim do you think that maybe
God gave you this chronic pain to teach you
something??" then she said "you know that
everything happens for a reason"
I said to her "no god wouldn't do this to
me or anyone else, the darn surgeron is the
one who did this to me"
and then she said to me "well i don't think so
i think that god had this planned all along".
GRRRRRRRR i just wanted to smack her (ofcourse
i didn't and couldn't do it).
But i just about wanted to cry after she said this
to me at work today.
But sometimes tho seriously i feel that God did
give this chronic pain to me to punish me for
something that i did, but i haven't really done
anything bad in the past, I don't drink, smoke
or do drugs, i have never even got a speeding ticket.
I don't know but her comment today really has
gotton me thinking! :-( Kim

I look at this a little differently. No, I do not think that God created my pain. God gave man free will. God could have prevented the woman from causing my car accident and He could heal my back. God sometimes steps-in and makes those things happen - we call those miracles. I do not know how, when or why He chooses to step-in. I think prayer has a great deal of impact.

But, as far as actually MAKING us have pain to punish us for something? That is not the God that I know and love. My God is a loving and caring God. He might not choose to prevent these things from happening and He might not choose to heal us. Maybe it is preparing us to be stonger for something we might have to face in the future? I do believe that He has a plan and everything is under His control. But, He does not punish His children. His love is unconditional.

OK - putting up the Christian soap-box.

What the H____! That person is certifable. I hope you don't give this horrible person any credance!@! You are a kind good sharing person who gives hope and support to those around you. Don't let some nut job take that away from you. Some people revel in seeing other people upset. So if you need to speak to God maybe you could pray for HER. Prayers and hugs to you,Lake

Kim,
God does not punish. He does nothing but forgive. It says in the Bible that God forgives 7x7x7 infinitely. He would never punish anyone. He did not do this to you. Things sometimes just happen. Everyone, even good people, have bad things happen to them. Please don't let this horrible person get to you. She obviously has no idea what she's talking about, and it's people like that, that makes me wish that God did punish! Anyway, you suffer because someone else did something wrong to you... It is in no way your fault or something that you have done to yourself or deserve! You will suffer everyday of your life, and she will never understand until she's in a world of pain. I wish people like that experienced one day in our lives just to see what we go through.

And by the way, tell your co-workers that it's not their business to be telling your business to people. Especially if you're going to get spoken to like that. You're lucky you're not me... I would've been fired, because I probably would've hit her.

But please don't let her words hurt you. You hurt enough, and she's just an ignorant idiot. Just remember that God is not punishing you. I will pray for you, my dear sweet friend, Kim.

Have a better evening, and please try to forget what she said to you, because you should know better than to believe that God would actually want to hurt anyone, especially such a kind, caring, giving person such as yourself.

Much my sweet friend,
Crystal

Kim...so sorry you had to deal with such an idiot! I don't think she would have escaped my wrath or at least a piece of my mind! I don't know why certain people act this way...or think they can continue to be so judgemental, hurtful and just plain nasty to others without eventually getting the crap knocked outta them!(LOL!) Well, you keep your chin up girl and don't let this idiot bring you down to her level!! Kill her with kindness and remember God loves YOU!!! TC!
