Maria Rowena Malaya Angeles God and I have a love-hate relationship. but most of the time its him loving me and me doubting his. But what's the point of pretending, in his eyes my soul is naked and i cannot hide a miniscule of myself? besides, doubt is the seed of discoveries.Like · · 54 minutes ago via Yahoo!

- Tex Ticoy what is the relationship of your intro to the idea of pretending? and connecting the intro to the conclusion gives us an idea that it's ok to doubt God for it could lead us to a discovery... discovery is a life-sized word of possibility but still tricky, suspicious, and deceiving. Please substantiate.43 minutes ago · Like
- Because I intend not to interact with my facebook page for a week, I will answer here.
- First, definition of terms. pretending in this context means being your truest self. In our conversations with him, there is no point of hiding what we truly feel because even without words, he knows everything inside and outside our hearts. Why say it if he already knows it? Because it will make us feel better. Kung galit ka, galit ka. Kung naiinis ka, naiinis ka. Sabihin mo yun sa kanya. Kung may tanong ka, itanong mo yun. That is prayer for me. Prayer is a soul talking to its Maker.
- Doubt, in this context does NOT mean rebellion. It only means questioning, asking. Why ask? Dahil most of the time ang nagtatanong lang ang nakakakuha ng sagot. Why ask why; isn't that a sign of disbelief and a lack of faith? No, asking/doubting/questioning does not mean the absence of faith but the desire to find answers and strengthen it. In a relationship, like faith life, there must be openness, kahit sa human relationship necessary yan. Why ask why answer num 2: Because God is a God of truth, all that is in him is put to light. Finding answers is a way of bringing things into the light. He does not want us to accept and swallow things because it was taught us in schools or by our parents. It should not stop there. We only regard things as sacred if we have personally set out on a quest to find it. Things will only have meaning if it has meaning to us as persons. Faith life then is a quest for God and his will. It is never a static concept. It is alive. It is a relationship where both parties relate to each other.
- God and I have a love-hate relationship. My soul knows that he loves me and knows me personally but there are moments when my mind says otherwise. When I pray, I tell that to him. I am angry. I am frustrated. I am confused. Because that is how we are in our relationship. He is after all my father.( And believe it or not, he answers in our hearts) You asking me made me ask myself and assess. Because someone asked, I now have some answers. Doubts are seeds of discoveries.
