Forgiving

"Sometimes you just have to forgive God," said the pastor after I shared my problems.
What?!?! That didn't make sense.
I thought forgiving was what someone powerful might do instead of punishing somebody weaker, so how could I forgive God?
But the dictionary said the word "forgive" doesn't only mean choosing not to seek punishment, but also choosing not to feel resentment, and that was certainly something I could do. My kids still had disabilities and my health didn't improve, but my attitude certainly did and, as a result, I was able to handle the problems much better.
