Are you able? Are you willing?

     I had a dream last night about a person in my life. In my dream they died and I was distraught. I grieved for this person terribly. This dream helped me understand something that I was dealing with in my life. I have a person that has "disassociated" themselves from me for their own reasons, which would be a whole different blog subject.
     In my waking world I have been struggling with emotions that I didn't understand and this dream is actually a gift from God to me. Because of the dream I can understand the depressive thoughts that have filled my days, and now, I will be able to control the emotions or at least understand them and order the rest of my life to have a form that can operate around the sadness!
     We are such complex beings that we are not even able to fully understand ourselves. We are made in God's image, except God is way more complex than we are. We believe we understand ourselves so we should be able to understand God also....we are deluding ourselves. We don't even really understand ourselves, much less God!
     I didn't understand myself enough to know why I was so sad until I had a dream to show me. How can we understand God until we live with Him long enough for Him to reveal Himself? Are you able to sojourn with Him? Are you willing?
