I am writing about my family. We had an episode lately. My brother cleaned out my house, everything is gone. He sold them for little and nothing. I had to have him arrested and afterwards begged leniency for him, because he would have ended up in prison. My family has been preying on me for years. Now they are old they should look out for me. Instead, they carry me right down. They have stolen my computer, portable DVDTV, DVD and other electronics, and left me empty. They have even stolen my kettle.

Now the situation has gone from bad to worse. My house is empty and the window is broken. The worse thing about the situation is they did not steal my things because they were hungry, they did it because they are nothing but thieves. They stole all of my furniture I shipped from here. They are all gone.

God does not like ugly and dirty people. A lot of people say I am strong, and they would pay people to kill them. I know this is not appropriate language but I am saying this to show you how bad it has gone. Even the boy's father had to report it to the police. It is because I believe in God why I am going to leave them to time.

B. E.

Dear B.E.,

I can understand why you are angry. You have lost so much, but may God keep you in His love. Though you have lost material things, you still have life. The God who gave you the strength to purchase these household articles will help you replace them. It is unfortunate your relatives have not treated you well but, please, do not be discouraged.

When last have you read Psalm 23? May I suggest you take time to read it today. Thank the Lord for the encouragement through this wonderful Psalm.

Pastor
