Your concience never lies or leads you astray, it is perfect 100% of the time. 2. God is not a stranger, though we do not see Him as we expect, He is every where and we see Him every day and don't know it. God is the mother nursing her child back to help, God is the neighbor taking care of the elderly woman next door, God is the new baby in the hospital full of happiness and love, God is everything good now and always. Goodness is evidence of the love of a higher power that shows us how to love. 3. Bad things happen for a reason. God doesn't send an earth quake and relish in the fact that thousands of people die. We only see the underside of His plane, the messy unfinished preview to something more. God, however, knows the finished product and is working on something that none of us may ever understand. But remember, God only does good or He wouldn't be God. 4. The reason that God forgives you after you've done wrong is because He LOVES YOU! He isn't the type to want you to fail like a bad teacher or an abusive father. God wants nothing more than to spend the rest of eternity with you in His kingdom. 5. All the direction you need is in the most popular book in the world! The Bible :)

bratski2192 ^^^ITA. Love ur response. =D We all have to go thru the good & bad times of life, even if we don't like it. It's hard not to question, but it's a part of standing firm in our love for Him, as He watches over us, & lives in our hearts every day. Nothing will ever be truly peaceful in the world, since those who love Jesus aren't of this world, just in it. God bless. =)
