Me: “I don’t want to live anymore, I am a bad father for my son. This is my time to finish now…”
I fall from a bridge and drown myself into the lake.
Me: “Where am I?”
I saw a person with a gun and handing a dozen of bullets.
Me: “Is that a gun?”
This person hand me the dozen of bullet and I notice that it was God. He was shooting me over and over again with the dozen of bullets.
God: “The pain that you feel are your mistake.”
Me: “Not enough… not enough pain.”
After those pain that I receive and it was not enough for me, I just decide to go fishing in the nowhere places.
God: “Is time to go.”
Me: “I’m not ready yet.”
God: “So tell me your story.”
Me: “I am not a good father for my son, Alex. I always told him that choose a good career,

Not every father are perfect. You are not the only father that feel guilty. Every father make their mistake. They only think of their child, because they love them. The door will be open if you decide to go.”
One year had passed, and I’m here fishing and I haven’t fish anything and with this fault that I have with pain on it. I’m now more older. Still thinking about what God said to me.
God: “Are you still here? Look the door is still open.”
Me: “I don’t think I will go, even though I’m dead.”
God: “Who tell you that you are dead? You still alive. You are only in a coma.”
Me: “ But I don’t want to go back. You don’t remember how many mistake I did?”
God: “Yes, I do. But let me tell you something. Your son has a family and he is worried that you are in bed in coma. He want you awake. He’s proud of you because you make him a good person. So, do you want to go now?”
Me: “I’ll take a try.”
God: “An advice, tell him that you’re sorry.”
Me: “Thank you, for everything.” I start to open my eyes and the first person that I saw, was my son, Alex.
Alex: “Dad, dad! Call the doctor!”
With the tear on my eyes and happy to see him again, I tell him, “I’m sorry.”
Alex: ”That’s okay dad. The only thing that is important is that you are still
He wants to see whether we are capable of overcoming our base instincts... We have no right to despair. And if He punishes us mercilessly, it is a sign that He loves us that much more…” (Wiesel 45) Akiba Drumer’s unshakable faith in God undoubtedly shows the toughness of the human spirit.
And if God is God, why is He letting us suffer?” (1) The lifelong quest for answers to these questions shaped his theology
No one is too far gone to be saved: everyone deserves to know what it's like to be saved when they, too, feel

The Healing Power of His Love “Forgive them, they know not what they do,” God whispered in Immaculee’s ear. Immaculee, a Tutsi Rwandan girl, was huddled in a incredibly tiny bathroom filled with seven other young ladies hiding from mass murderers trying to kill every Tutsi in the country. She struggled day and night trying to forgive the killers, but could only think of hatred for them until God said those words in her ear. She opened her heart to him and was saved by his loving mercy. Immaculee viewed being spared and being saved as different and through Immaculee’s story she showed me that we have to love and forgive others even if they have hurt us.
“Dad..” Janet cried, unsure of what else to do. “What?” Her father said, finally looking to see what the crisis was. He saw her hand, and his face went blank.
“Tell us. Tell us what’s happening! Say something…” At that moment, we were anxious to hear something encouraging, a few words telling us that there was nothing to worry about… But one glance at my father’s face left no doubt.”
The man in distress says there’s no one else who can help him besides God. By reading this, one can clearly tell that this poetic literature because of the rhymes and metaphors. Moral sense: We learn from this that God does not always answer in a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ fashion. It may be a ‘wait’ because He has something better in store.
“You don’t understand... You cannot understand. I was saved miraculously. I succeeded in coming back. Where did I get my strength?
“ Behind me, I heard the same man asking: ‘Where is God now?’”
A man may think God sleeps, but God sees everything, I know it now. I beg you, sir, I beg you—see her what she is. My wife, my dear good wife, took this girl soon after, sir, and put her out on
Vallejo continues by displaying an acute message, painful frustration at being unable to determine why life is so hard. This would interpret that not only difficulties of life can take a toll physically, but mentally as well and lead you to question why our lord and savior continues to be blind or to assist with our derailments in life. Vallejo’s thinking of God could be looked at as unorthodox. Most refrain from having an unorthodox kind of mentality about God. Most usually, worship, praise, pray, and see God as a true savior of humankind and that God is always there by our side.
Throughout life, people are often faced with many decisions. Some of these decisions are easy to make, while others are excruciating, as they can be life altering. From a Christian’s perspective, however, people never have to make these decisions alone. God promises that he will never abandon his people, “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you” (New International Version, Deuteronomy 31:6).
It was apparent that becoming a father was undoubtedly John’s greatest achievement. Despite his pride in becoming a father, John was not the most compassionate, and spent most of his time and
