Understanding

I believe a key element to every relationship is understanding. How can 2 people love each other if they don't understand each other?

Humans are funny creatures. We live out our lives, and when things go wrong, we don't realize it at the moment. But when we look back, we feel that things could have been handled better.

When we pray to God, we expect answers. It is when requests aren't answered that we loose faith. God's time is not our time. God's plan is not our plan. He only does things to make us stronger. Why am I writing these words when I don't believe them?

Every now and then, I doubt the existence of God. Some say it's natural. Even Billy Graham and Dr. James Dobson have doubted. It is the natural instict of humans to doubt, and throught doubt our faith grows. Doubt challenges our faith in Him, and only makes us close in the end.

However, I have frequently questioned the presence of God in my life. There are days when things couldn't be better. And there are days when I deny God fully. Will and can God ever forgive me for my sins? It is my sins that divides me from the Great Divine.
