Im convinced God hates me, that true?

Question

I tried to follow Him, but now cant believe that he loves me. He does small ineffectual things for me while the evil prosper. I have a friend who is FAR from God and he is doing much better in life than me. We both got out of college and HE is the one finding work, while I'm still working part time in a grocery store. Plus, I had some things happen to me earlier in life that cause me to question His love for me. It feels like it, but, does He actually hate me???

Answer 1

No, God loves you. Read your Bible! Focus on the things Jesus said.

Answer 2

Maybe you think life isn't working out the way you want it to be, maybe you don't live in a fancy apartment or drive a flashy car but I'm sure you have other things that you are thankful for or than you CAN be thankful for.

The thing is I don't think we were created to live perfect lives. Everything is a test from God, to see how we manage through our good and bad times. Do we forget all about God when He gives us everything we want? Or do we lose our faith in Him when things are looking a little gloomy? Maybe you're not the most successful person today (depending on what is your definition of success), but have faith that if you work for it you can be whoever you want to be.

This life is so temporary, could it really just be about who's making more money? Or who has the most 'perfect' life? What is true our purpose in life?

Have a good opinion of God and be grateful for the little but very significant things that we do have in life... things just might start looking better :)

Answer 3

I can't believe you are really asking this question. Does God also hate the little children who are starving to death in Africa because they have no food or water? You have everything and yet you are complaining about God's love. If we gave more of ourselves and expected less in return perhaps life would be better. Do you really think it is in God's nature to hate? I think that would not be possible. I think you need to re-evaluate your theology and understanding. Do something good for other people and the goodness will return to you, regardless of weather you believe God hates you or not. Did God hate all of the millions of people that were executed by the Nazi's, why didn't God save them? perhaps you need a little more humility and just accept things the way they are and do the best you can.

Answer 4

God loves you, no one said believing in Him would make your life free of heartache. trust in Him, have faith. He is always with you, he'll never leave you or forsake you. I mean I've had a lot of stuff happen to me that made me think God hated me. But how can he hate us? He died for us. If you pray for guidance I'm positive he will always lead you in the right direction. Everything happens for a reason, you're where you are supposed to be. I'll be praying for you, I hoped I helped. If not, I'm sorry.

Answer 5

So what, God hates me too, but that's probably because I hit him for not making my a sandwhich. Stupid piece of sh** never does wat hes told does he? Hey, here's a funny thing, the exact same situation was going on for a while with me and my best friend. I was doing great, suceeding in everything I did and all, while he couldn't get a job and was having problems at home. Then I reverted him to atheism and now we're both working together and he said it was the best thing he'd ever done. Something about thanking himself instead of God for everything.

Answer 6

God loves you.....nor does it matter that you query that at times.
God is more than big eneough to cope with your (very natural) doubts and still keep on loving.
We were never promised an easy life but the knowledge that we matter to God is greater than any material benefits.
I pray, however, that you will soon find a fulfilling job.

Answer 7

Quit feeling sorry for your self and get on with your life. God disciplines those that he loves. He will give you what you need not necessarily what you want. Satan is trying to blind your eyes ask the Lord to open them to see in a different light. Good luck and God bless be a warrior for the Lord and pull people from the fire.

Answer 8

As far as God's love goes.
God shows His love for us in that while we were STILL sinners Christ died for us.
How much more so now that we are His children.
God's love is unconditional but His promises are not.
Are you living a life of obedience? Look to this first, if you are then seek to find what you are to be learning and how you are to be growing with what you are currently experiencing.

Answer 9

Things happen in this world that aren't right. There are two wills in this world, good and evil. They war against each other all the time. Evil (resentment ) tries to always put the blame on something or someone else. Resentment blinds one from seeing

Answer 10

DON'T BE SO SILLY ,, ...do somethings for ones self GOD.. helps those who helps oneself ........as IN .....those who work and endeavour to better oneself and not leach from others or ENVY ....... Your working so all is not lost ......your making me despair ...you think god should give you an easy life whilst the rest of us have to work endure hardship and strive to please god whilst you revel in self pity think again life's not like THAT ..You think we live in some far of distant planet were nothing bad happens ..Think again life is one big roller coaster ups and downs ..think you very selfish don't give a hoot for your parents and blaming god for all you r misgivings STOP ..Think again sorry but still believe in God but believe me I also wonder why but I'm not sitting back and saying its your fault GOD

Answer 11

When God created the universe, if he did as such, he knew from that point exactly what this action would cause. Omniscience dictates that he knew precisely each and every consequence of creation, yet he went and did it anyway.

To this effect, anything that goes bad in your life is directly his fault. I think that it's safe to say that he hates a lot of people.
