Kay Arthur - Her husband committed suicide

 

Kay Arthur, a well-known author and speaker, tells how she and her husband were constantly having problems, so finally, she left him. Time after time he called & pleaded with her to come back, but she refused. Finally, he threatened suicide, & she told him, “Go ahead, I need the money.” And he did. In her remorse she can remember driving from the funeral, shaking her fist in anger at God & saying, “Go to hell, God.” Then she writes, “It was like someone flipped a switch. I suddenly realized that was exactly what God did. He went to hell for me, that I might go to heaven with Him.” (Lou Nicholes, Missionary/Author).
