Why does God feel so distant? Why do we want to do good, but end up doing evil?

In this term paper, I will be summarizing the teachings of Dr. John Coe on human morality, what it means to become "new" in Christ, and why God feels like He is far from us - also known as the Dark Night of the Soul.

Journey: Into The Never-ending Way by fellow1945

Why does one travel from a well known neighborhood to another where the outcome of the visit is not yet understood? I could name the streets and places in my neighborhood. There was a well defined map in my head that used comfortable explanations for what to expect. Then, everything changed. I drove up the hill, parked the car in a familiar place. When I walked into the house all the furniture was the same. Yet, when I sat beside him everything I knew went away. My mind was empty, only able to engage in superficial talk. I was afraid of his cancer. I didn't know what to say or how to help. I was lost in the whole sorry business. I gave him what comfort my presence was good for and, he gracefully accepted it like a brother would. Behind the warmest smile I could draw up was a deserted beach, waves of questions washing against my feet. A great ocean met the horizon and disappeared somewhere beyond where eyes could take a mind. Where would the questions take me? Where do you start such a quest?

She loves him, he also loves her more than any think or we can say he is obsessively in love with her. She wants to spend her enter life with him, he wants to keep her only for himself. She was only light in his life, but he snatched her lights from her life. His love caged her and now she can't free herself even if she wants to. He is very good in keeping his promise and this time also he will fulfil his promise even if she wants to separate from him, he won't let that happen. He caged her by chaining her with himself even his death can't set her free, he caged her by invisible shackle that is Love. This story is sequel of 'Black Prince and White Princess'. So for better understanding, please first read 'Black Prince and White Princess'.

He Found Me by WriterForJesus02

"I once was lost, but now I'm found." Why? Why did I survive? Didn't I end my life? These questions filled my mind while lying on a hospital bed. I feel desperate and hopeless. Tears fell down uncontrollably, and sobs began to echo in the room. If there is someone out there in the universe who can answer my question, why? Suddenly, I heard a voice: "God has a purpose." I saw a woman beside the hospital bed wearing a nurse's uniform. Well, I didn't notice her before, but her words made me wonder. God? After all, does God really exist? I was put in silence until she spoke again: "If you're wondering why you're still alive, you are because God has a purpose." As she said those words, I began to see hope. God... God, if you really exist, show me, show me my purpose.

She meets familiar faces along the way, as well as ones she must get rid of permanently. But will that happen? Understand the world of one that lives it differently by exploring with Nina what she sees and what this world entails for her. Will it be pretty? Will it be gruesome? Will she learn something?

The Demon Within by AuthorUnknown59

I keep struggling with my body. It does things I don't want it to do. It always ends up hurting people in some way. What the heck is going on? Am I sick? Exhausted? I must be hallucinating. It doesn't even seem like me controlling my body anymore.
