Post 16: Understanding

I wonder if there are things I will never understand. Again, how is it possible for this person to be so cruel? There is absolutely no way that I can comprehend given what I know of her, and I thought I knew her very well, that this kind of behavior is consistent

with her personality.
That was then. Today is now. Anything I say is hypothetical full of guesses and excuses. The raw data simply states that she does not want to talk with me. That brings me to the first question. I wonder if there are things I will never understand. Maybe I should simply take it by faith, that this is the way things are, whether it be pain or fear on her part, I do not need to understand.
In John 21, Jesus is talking to peter. Peter turns points at john and says, What about him? Jesus responded “Do not worry about him, you follow me”. (This is a slight paraphrase.) I wonder, as I have for so long, what does it mean to “Follow Jesus?”
Father, guide my footsteps down this path you have set before me. Guide the use of my hands, and my tongue. Help me become obedient to you at all times. Help me become, make me into the man you want me to be. Amen.
