Walk the Way

Philippians 4:5 said »

Although I realize that Christ was fully human, there are times that I wonder how He could WANT to spend so much time w/ God when there was so much "life" pulling at His attention - I comprehend in my head His reason for needing to be w/ the Father to "deal" w/ life - but I don't get it in a practical way. How does having a relationship w/ God work out practically when trying to live life?

I don't understand how one's life could get in the way of the desire for Christ.... A life with Jesus won't be easy it's proabablly going to be harder but it is better. Sometimes I feel like I'm constantly crying out for friends. It seems like everytime I make one I lose one or more... We cry out all the time the question is are we really listening for God's answer, or do we want a certain answer and just wait for that and when the answer "we" want doesn't come we feel abondended. God doesn't think like we do so His answer probablly isn't want we think it will be or even what we want it to be. I've been crying out my whole life. God gives me friends and I lose friends... maybe he's trying to tell me to find a friend in Him first, or one true friend is good enough, even if it's not how I pictured a true friend to be. I don't know why hardships happen over and over again when all we want is to breathe, but I do know God is always by my side whether I notice it or not. Following Christ's path is totally worth it my opinion. I have questioned God, but I have felt His presence, I have tasted Him ,and I know He is real. Being human beings on this earth, it just seems like we will be constantly crying out...

i feel like thats happening to me right now. no matter what i do, i feel like im being stopped in every way possible. everything seems to be getting in the way of my values. i found a wonderful youth group, but my mom claims its to far to drive. i just dont understand why loving God should have a limit. My parents lately have been thinking i am lying about a lot of things and all i can do is trust in God to fix it. I got dumped last week by someone who i really thought would walk with me to get and know God, But sometimes we have to realize that those things arent Gods fault. Its human nature, and we cant expect God to tamper with that. Although we can ask him to plan our lives around it.

Ive heard once that its like playing a piano. A famous piano player had a tv show and invited a guest to the stage, he made the guest slam on a bunch of keys, and of course it sounded horrible, but that piano player remembered every key that guest hit and he used those keys to make a beautiful melody. Sometimes in life were just banging on the wrong keys, or someone else is, and God is the only one who will be able to make our lives into a beautiful melody. We just have to turn towards him through it all.
