Cheated by God

July 22, 2012 by Inspired by Family Mag

How many times in life have you found  yourself feeling and thinking these thoughts: God is holding out on me. You have been cheated by God. You always get jipped. God is always hating on you. Damn, not again.  Why me? I must be honest and share that some of these thoughts have crossed my mind when I find myself at my wit's end and on the floor sobbing, barely being able to speak asking God "Why me?"
