Even two homozygous twins are not entirely identical to each other. The diversity between individuals depends on the unique and unrepeatable history that each one of us lives. It is also structural because it depends from our genetic code. In fact, there is not a single strand of human DNA equal to another. After experiencing intolerant people during the last few years, I know I want to make a difference.

To begin, faith is important to me because I cannot remember a time that I did not know God. Sue there were times where I questioned God, got mad at God, doubted God, and thought that I had lost God, but I never ceased to know Him.

Families, who encounter problems, whether it is in their marriage or a parental issue with a child, will pursue counseling as a way to help mend the broken family dynamic. If the family has a strong Christian belief system and worldview, they might feel more comfortable receiving therapy from a pastor in the church or from a therapist that will incorporate a Christian perspective into the therapeutic approach.

Their religion is their entire life and they can’t imagine their lives without it. Imagine a scenario that’s so terrible that God won’t take you out of it. These people will wonder where God is and pray for Him to come.

Jesus is a figure that many authors use in their novels. By using characters that resemble him, they author is able to relate to the reader in context of hope and redemption, as well as to expand one’s thoughts on what exactly the concept of sacrifice entails.
