Tell me something... (?)?

Question

Have you ever felt that God made a mistake in the way He made you? How's that? Or have you felt He made a mistake when He allowed some circumstance to happen in your life?

Dont be shy people; share.

As your reward I'll choose the best one and send you a prayer. Honest.

Answer 1

Funny you should ask this one today. I was talking with a friend today about our diets and exercise stuff. I mentioned that I wish God didn't make skin so elastic. If our skin won't be able to stretch so much, then when we gained 5 lbs we wer feel it internally and be forced to lose the weight. Instead my clothes get tight and I can buy bigger clothes. I said it as a joke but sometimes I did wish God would have done somethings in His creation differently.

I was adopted. I ask God a lot of questions about that whole situation. I've always heard that children are a gift from God. If we are, why are some of us aborted, some given up for adoption, some that stay with their biological parents get abused? If God gave me to my birth parents as a gift, then we didn't they stay together and raise me? I've heard things like I was a gift to my adoptive parents because they no longer could have children (they had 2 boys 11 yrs before I was even born). But did God select my adoptive parents to be my parents or was it just that the adoption agency put me with me? Then if I was a gift to my adoptive parents, why did God put me in a family with an alcoholic dad, drug addict brother and an enabling mother who never said the words "I love you"? I'm 35 now & I've met my birth parents. My dad spent 3 days with me and my son and I've never heard from him since. My birth mom and her family talk to us and we visit every summer and write often. We have a great relationship. But I still ask God why every once in a while.

I also ask God why certain terrific people get cancer and suffer a lot before they die. I think if God wants them back in Heaven, then just take them. Not make them suffer for months. I know we are suppose to offer our sufferings up to God but that can be hard to do or even think about while you are in great pain and vomitting 24/7. And does He take the great people first and let the evil ones linger here longer.

I never tell God want to do and want He should have done. But I do raise questions and concerns. I think He is very understandable about all of our questions and such. And we are to have patience for His answers. But sometimes I like to have an answer within a week :)

God bless!

Answer 2

Well i will be honest..I don't feel that he made a mistake when he made me in fact i never really thought about that. What i have thought is some times in my life.. i wondered where was god. I won't go into details but i have dealt with some horrible things that have happened a long time ago. I did at the time feel bitter thinking why me...and where was God..why wasn't he watching over me..why must i endure this pain. I realize now that it is life and it happens to alot of people. I don't think i would be the same person i am today..if i hadn't been through the struggle and school of hard knocks. So know i give my thanks to God for a wonderful husband and daughter. I am blessed and i am a lucky girl. All i need in life is to be safe..healthy ..and happy. This is my wish every single night..i pray upon my cherub necklace. I hold it tight and say my prayers.

Answer 3

Yes, lots of times. I didn't like my naturally curly hair and wished it was really long and straight, so I use to get extra long hair extensions and have them really straight along with chemically straightened hair. I wanted a new nose. I wanted darker eyebrows so I got permanent cosmetics on them, along with permanent eyeliner. I go tanning for a better looking complexion that is golden. These are the small things. I had seven children, and in my 20's I use to think why does God do this to me. I also have anxiety problems at times and use to wonder what I did to deserve this. My first marriage failed. I use to ask why God gave some women everything and gave me this. Eventually I grew up and after I got saved I realized that God made every Person in the world very unique and to do all this stuff and not be happy is to say that God didn't do a good enough job. I started to feel really bad about it. I now do not wear extensions in my hair, and I except that it is curly, I started to appreciate the face I have, and I really thank God now for the children I do have because they are older now and bring me so much happiness. I pray and cope with my anxiety problem different now and realized that it could be much worse. I now think about other things in life and realize that I was being a very superficial brat for no reason.

Answer 4

I thought about it way before I got born again. I felt unloved and unworthy. My parents kept blaming me, my ex-boyfriend abused me.. And there were times that I almost end up my life.
I was angry with God most of the time. I thought I was faithfully praying, I wasn't realize that, it's not that He didn't answer my prayer. But I pushed my will instead of His will. And when things didn't go my way, I crushed and thorn apart.
I became born again 7 years ago, I went to church that day. Early in the morning, because my friend asked me to help her with children Sunday School. I saw this children, they came from poor family, live literally next to garbage dump. I saw their smile and see how they loves God so much, even when they don't have anything. Those children said grace everyday, even when they came with an empty stomach.
That day I was a changed woman. I never take what God have given me for granted anymore. I repent and live for His glory. I was blessed and even though I'm not materially rich, I'm rich already with His love. I have a wonderful Godly husband and a daughter that loves me unconditionally.

It's not about me, It's all about Him now..
For Jesus died for the ungodly. and I have never been unloved.

Answer 5

I believe that man made a mistake by creating a god, if only the authors of the bible knew just how much BS they were gonna cause by writing this fictional novel and passing it on as truth from a nonexistent higher power, so my answer is people should take a great look at their mistake and not look to their imaginary friend for answers.

Answer 6

If I had that question 20 years ago, I would be pointing out lots of them. But when I realized the truth about karma and rebirth, God doesn't deserved anything negative. When both laws of physical and spiritual put forth for us either to follow or disobey we get just what we deserve - bad or good. Those laws are not self serving but are meant to train and straighten our path towards unification. Yes, I still have so many ups and downs in this life but I accept them with humility and love.

Answer 7

I don't believe in god but if I did I would wonder -

1. Why did he make us afraid of strangers? Every person, every animal. It's a great survival characteristic but it makes people want to fight and kill each other. Seems counter productive.

2. Why did he design our DNA so poorly? It is one thing to let adults struggle with the problems of life. But why does he make babies and children struggle with birth defects? Mutations are useful in evolution but designed into the system??? Doesn't seem right to me.

3. Why did he make the planet so unstable? Earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, volcanoes? Why make the Earth such a dangerous place. Again you might want people to struggle with themselves but against a trillion gallons of water crashing into a shoreline - there's not much people can do except drown.

So, yes, if there is a god then I do think he made a whole bunch of mistakes.

Good question,

a

Answer 8

God makes no mistakes at all. Unfortunately we as humans sometimes perceive that God has made mistakes but this is because we cannot comprehend the mind or actions of God in this current time.

When I get to Heaven, I will then understand why He does what He does. Until then, I will keep on trusting, praising and serving Him faithfully.

Answer 9

Yes, I did fee like God made a mistake making me a girl. I thought I should have been a boy. My grandpa and father looked down upon women calling them half wits, and all sorts. In their mind, women are same as animals, and the real pain is, they consider themselves educated.
Later in life I read a story about a little blue flower in a garden, and how the gardner put that little blue flower exactly where he wanted it and the fact that he loved it and came every day to look with pleasure at it, made me feel like I was the little blue flower in God's garden...
But anyway... I know better than that now I am made exacltly as He wished me to be, and although I still feel sometimes that God might have messed up on some things, I really know better now.
Hope that helps.

Answer 10

If God made mistakes, the laws of physics would sometimes not work because the program occasionally would freeze and need to be restarted, like Windows. God doesn't make mistakes, people make mistakes.
