For a few years I allowed myself to be overcome with grief due to the unexplained rejection of our daughter, which also meant that we would lose contact with our grandchildren as well, and took to my bed, blew up in size and just bailed out on living. My husband would continue to go to church, and sit by my bedside and read me the Psalms while I wept. I felt so faithless, having been called by God to a higher place that that!---and gifted by Him to influence others for Him in the way of discipling.
After I came out of that horrible, dark place, I remember sitting here at my computer, and just mourned the length of time I spent wallowing in grief, and I spoke out loud to the Lord, "Lord, I am so sorry I was so faithless! Please forgive me!" He answered me immediately, deep down inside: "I am pleased with your faith."
I thought, "WHAT? How can that be?" I knew it wasn't from me! Again He said, "I am pleased with your faith."
He was right there with me all the time, and all those times I envisaged myself climbing up into the lap of my Daddy, and allowing His great, warm arms to envelop me and comfort me. he knew my pain. He suffered it, too. He is highly acquainted with rejection.
So, I am more than convinced that God is never really displeased with His children, and is always faithful while we are unfaithful, and always totally loves, where we cannot do the same.
