However, God turned the suffering of Naomi and Ruth into good and not only were they taken care of physically, through Ruth’s bloodline Jesus came into the world. Naomi and her family went to a strange land because of a famine in their home land, and while they were there Naomi lost her husband and her sons and felt like God had abandoned her and even told Ruth, her daughter in-law, that God had turned against her. If you feel like God has abandoned you than you are in good company as many people in the Bible have felt that way as well. If we are angry with God because we don’t understand what he is doing in our life we can and should be honest in talking with him, though we should not accuse God of doing wrong as that is a sin, but luckily if we have falsely accused God of doing us wrong he will willingly forgive us for that, and all other sins, if we trust him and ask for forgiveness. It is perfectly acceptable to be honest with God, and we might as well be honest as we can’t hide anything from him.

God loves us at our worst but does does not want us to stay that way and he wants us to love and trust him enough to turn our lives over to him. When it seams that everyone else hates us, and we hate ourselves, it seams logical to think that God hates us as well.Įven if we are living in unrepentant sin, God does not hate us nor does he want us to think that he does. When we are overcome with the emotions of being wounded, of grief, pain, guilt, shame, or anger we often think God hates us, as do we when we experience life changing events such as injury, chronic pain or illness, repeated job loss, failed relationships, abuse, the death of a loved one, wrongful conviction, a deep sense of unworthiness and self-shame. It is easy for people who have easy or comfortable lives to say that God loves them, but it is often difficult, if not impossible, for people in the throngs of suffering and pain to say the same thing. It is natural, I think, to assume the reason bad things seam to perpetually happen in our lives is because God not only does not love us but actually hates us.

That is a question I have asked myself, perhaps, thousands of times in my life. Why does God hate me? That is a question people ask Google an average of 2,442 times per month for a total of 29,304 a year! (1).
