Yesterday my brother exploded in a heated moment of passion regarding his belief that he will never find a girl that will love him, get married, have a family. He also made the claim that he can never have a future dream that he can pursue. He believes he is cursed of God.
Well, as I can see it, my brother has a problem in his theology regarding God. First is that he believes that God doesn't love him, that God wants to punish him for any reason whatsoever. Second, is that he believes that his current situation will be his perpetual situation. Third, is that since this is his perpetual situation he doesn't have to make plans for a future.
In truth, I think that he is just scared. He tends to show anger in order to hide his fear. While he said that he looks at having a lawn service perpetually, he doesn't plan on taking it to the official business stage where he can grow it, have employees, pay all of the business taxes and insurance fees, and deal with all of the administrative overhead. He really doesn't want to be a permanent lawn service professional anyway, but he is afraid of doing anything else. I just wish I knew how to counsel him so that he can find the courage to build a future for himself.
