I'm Sick And Tired Of Being Sick And Tired RANT...punished by God?

I saw something today on line and it got my back up a bit and I want to air it here....someone mentioned being told that the reason they are in pain is because they don't believe in God. 

First let me say that is CRAP!! not true! not in the least bit true!! You are not being punished for your beliefs on God. 

Second let me explain why this bothers me so much. There was a time when I believed that I was being punished for all of the bad things I have done in my life. I thought God was trying to teach me a lesson and that if I hadn't been so bad in my life actions, I wouldn't be going through this hell now.  I thought God was punishing me with a life with pain.
When I was struggling accepting my life with pain, I saw a very wonderful counsellor and one day she challenged my thoughts when she heard me say that. She quietly and with care asked me to think of all of the people in the world who have experienced a natural disaster. Were they being punished too? Did they deserve to lose all that was their life? and even the lives that were lost, did they "deserve" to die?  No... they didn't!! Neither did I and neither did you. It is not because of your faith or beliefs that you are experiencing pain in your life now. 

You are NOT being punished for your beliefs. 
You are NOT being punished by God for something you did in your past. 
You are NOT being punished.

You have probably heard some insensitive comments from some pretty insensitive people. Unfortunately there is nothing we can do about that but learn not to take the comments personally. 

take good care of you
