James 1:27: Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
God, Are You Nice or Mean?: Trusting God . . . After the Orphanage
Share
Through a journey of joys, tears, struggle and hopelessness, Debra Delulio Jones found herself shaking her fist in the air and screaming, "God, are You nice or mean?" Her adopted son didn't know how to trust in the love of his parents due to his early abandonment and attachment issues. In his confusion he would ask, "Mommy, are you nice or mean?" As Debra learned ways to connect to her son, she realized a twenty year course in clinging to God paralleled her parenting journey. She came to understand that her doubts about God were rooted in fear and pain, just like her son's maladaptive behaviors.
