Now it Fits

Today brings new revelation! I have learned that I was brought into this world at the same time as this icon, and since our lives were to be forever destined to be intertwined. That Mother Teresa felt deep conflicts of faith within her soul was overshadowed by the discovery of my true soulmate, born the same year as I. Alas! If I had only realized sooner, precious years have stolen away now that we just have barely begun to know each other. Now, cruelly, lovastatin separates us.

For the record, I would be interested in reading the context of Mother Teresa's statements. There are times were I have cried out to God, seeking His presence in the middle of the night. Those are the times when faith can ask the question, "Where are you?". It's about being honest to God.

He knows. Why attempt to pretend otherwise?

It's not just weakness, it's the reality of our weakness. Jesus, Son of Man, also cried out to the Father on the cross at the moment of His abandonment. Jesus knows what it means to feel alone, without the Presence. Should we be so arrogant to think that we are cut from a much different cloth? Mankind is a shiftless lot, prone to cast our loyalties wherever our winds of mood blow--one day I place my trust in God; the next, I trust only in the possessions I "own". There will be one day, in the twinkling of an eye that faith will be made sure, but only just then. Until, we must humbly fight the daily battle against the things around us that pull us from God.
