I'm So Confused!!

In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, "Dr. Betters...I am exhausted with trying to do good works on earth in order to earn the rewards in Heaven mentioned in the Bible. And I'm confused as to why I should care if I get any rewards at all. Won't just being in Heaven with Jesus, the disciples, and all the saints be enough...why would I want more? And if I don't get any rewards, I won't be sad about it or envious of others because none of that exists in Heaven. I'm SO CONFUSED!!!"

My Daughter Will Regret When I Die

In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, Connie writes "Dr. Betters I have a real problem with my daughter. She and I used to be close. My husband, her father passed away in Feb 2020. I’m 72 & she’s 50. She acts like she could care less if I’m alive or not! If I don’t agree with everything she says she jumps down my throat! I think she’s been to visit me 3 times since her daddy passed. She does work & I understand that she’s tired when she gets home. It has gone as high as 2 weeks before she calls. We did go on vacation together this past May but she was mad 3 out of the 4 days we were gone. It started the 2nd night at a restaurant when I asked her to put her phone down to look at the menu. She started yelling at me to never tell her to put her phone away. I had to get up & walk away because she was so embarrassing. I have prayed each night that God would soften her heart. I write all this because when my mom passed away I had so much guilt thinking of things I should’ve done differently. My daughter is my only child and I’m really not sure if she’d miss me when I go!"
