We wonder why a son would badmouth his mother in public?
A son would not hate his mother even if she's a 'bad mother'.
Washing dirty linen in public is not the way to go
It's not befitting of a spiritual elder going public to disparage your mother. You could be the only spiritual elder holding the record using the pulpit to speak ill of your mother.We were aghast and stupefied listening to your ranting as we all have mothers but wondered why such a personal matter was made public by a son over his mother's foibles.
More than once, you chose to disgrace your mother in front of the public does not speak too well of you as a son.
No matter what, good children would never shame or dishonour their parent in public. You should have kept it private and a personal matter. Why drag her up from the grave, leaving her no peace?
It Happened Half A Centuary Egg Ago...
What has she done that is so unforgivable that remained stuck till this day? Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." - Luke 23:34We may not know or understand as to why you are so dead against your mother, and it's not our business wanting to know.
According to you, "I was treated badly and blamed for everything."
How then, can one stand to lead the people by example as a spiritual leader? Especially when there are many youths having parents they love... and they are watching.
Forgiveness Before Sundown
"Let not the sun go down upon your wrath." (Ephesians 4:26).
By keeping that hurtful feelings so long will give way to a carnal spite and simmer into a protracted siege of resentment and bitterness. A prolonged grudge injures you more than the one you're angry with.
Didn't the bible tell us to forgive those that we have grievances? "Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you." (Colossians 3:13).
How then, can one teach others to follow our Lord Jesus Christ who patiently endured the betrayal, false accusation, and abuse; grossly mistreated even by his very own?
Moreover, aren't you happy that your mother accepted Christ as the Savior and now in heaven? Would you not praise God and rejoice for your mother who made it?
As hard as it may sound, the resentment and hatred you hold against your mother may be a sign of an unresolved issue that you need to examine with your heart.
There may be hope in God's sanctification. But too bad, you just don't believe, you even mocked at it.
