Wholes... Not parts.

We humans look at things in parts, not wholes. God look at things from the outside-in, not inside-out!
When you pray and ask for something, God looks at how your request fits with everything happening in your life. That's where having people who are loving and caring in your life is so important because their current situations are involved in God's prayer response equations. God looks at how everything affects everyone, not just you. God look at things from an eternal perspective, unlike us who look at things from earthly perspective! So when your prayers are not immediately answered, then know that all circumstances you're involved in are taken into account. God always answers prayers, it's just that so many of us are not patient enough to receive our hopes and dreams. Love never gives up, and its faith, hope and patience never fail! That translates to God never fails and always delivers absolutely :-). That's why sometimes having lotsa friends is not good, since their actions could weigh in on your life's outcomes, especially when you're still young. Having God fearing friends will obviously help there!

So hopefully we can learn that God does things in His own way and time and that we are only here on earth to prove our faith and not simply to have a good time.
So I'll end by saying "Begin with the end in mind". :-)
