Faith and Believeing - Part 2

I've been learning a lot lately about trusting God with things in my life. I started this whole blog out a few years ago to share my poetry, which was usually about things I was struggling with. I haven't written any new poetry in a few years, and quit posting the poems I did write, as I have been re-evaluating what they say about me and my faith. I now know what I believe, and God is here. God loves me and has the best for me - all I have to do is believe and receive. Patience has never been one of my strong points. Tim has been teaching me that God answers prayer in Hisd timing, not ours, and God does not withhold answers to prayer as punishment. I had developed that view growing up, but see now that this view Gives human characteristics to God. God is Good, not evil and He does not repay evil for evil. Our God of Love does things in His character, and that does not include spitefulness. Please pray for me as I continue learning.
