Zigs, God does not want any of us to die and He did not allow your cousin to die. There is nothing we can do about death of a family member. God, however, can make good OUT of the bad if you will let Him.
I said I had a depression, didn't I? It was awful, horrible, and it was not something I could change. I prayed to God and He helped me get through it by giving me the courage, strength and will to fight on. I got through it. And I would NEVER erase that from my life because it now helps others. Yes, I now help others through their depressions because I have surpassed mine. I know there's hope now, I know it will pass. But the only reason WHY I made it through...is because God helped me. No one knew of my condition, only God, whom erased the evils of my mind and gave my heart feelings again.
You see, God didn't rip your cousin away from you. This Earth, the land of sins because our own doing, is what caused her to pass away. There was nothing you could do, nothing we could've done if we had known, nothing that your family could've done either. You must learn to accept, no matter how painful that may be, and try to make good out of it. Seems impossible, but embrace your pain and suffering and turn it around...so you can help others when they are in despair. It will give you feelings of understanding and they will turn to you for comfort...
Now, you say you have done something that you must be forgiven for by someone. All right, WE forgive you. You didn't specify who, so here it is. WE, here on this thread by the people who love you, forgive you for whatever you have done. Now you must forgive yourself, Zigs, let go of the guilt. Otherwise, you will NEVER heal.
It's ok to make mistakes, we're humans. Learn from your mistakes, take them with you as memories and then use them to do good. That's all you can do, that's all anyone can do.

I understand that question, since I have asked it myself.
The truth is - God does not sit back and just watch us as we suffer on Earth.
Of course, I'd be a fool to leave it at such a simple statement.
Just, listen to this.
Questions I, and many, many people have asked before.
Question 1 - Why does God let people kill each other on this world?
Answer - Suffering, like murders, killing, divorces, etc, are caused by people. God gave us free will, because he loves us, and did not want to control us like puppets on a string.
However, mankind has abused that.
They have infected themselves with evil things, done what THEY want to. Greed, murder, rape... It is mankind doing it.
God let's murderers live... Because he gives them a chance. Bad people aren't bad when they are born, they choose to be.
Question 2 - What about accidents? eg. Women and children dying because a train de-rails. Why doesn't God stop it?
Answer - A very difficult question. But, I can put a couple of pointers on it.
The being I choose to call Temptation, hates and resents how Jesus died for us. He wants to ensure that as many of us as possible go down with him, at the very end.
Therefore, he'll stop at nothing. He'll kill innocent people through cirmcumstances, he'll tempt people to do things which will eventually condem them, he will throw people into the darkness... Make them feel unworthy, of anything.
Trust me, I know. I've experienced the feeling.
He WANTS us to feel the darkness, either depressed, or proud, or greedy, in fact, any way that damages us.
God may not have intervened, because, in all due respect, he doesn't work like that. He works inside.
He, unlike Temptation, only helps... If we ask.
He cares about us, therefore, if he intervenes, he won't be letting us have free will.
Truth is, God does not just sit back.
God is in the hearts and actions of the brave people who fight the good fight, and battle the suffering of the world - Firefighters, doctors and surgeons, people who fight to protect their families.
God is there.
Why? I'll say.
God
Is
Love
God wants us to love him, but only of our own free will.
Accidents, suffering, pain... This is what we must endure, for missusing such a privilege.
Now, it's your choice alone if you are Christian or not.
You choose who you want to be.
Your family is not 'dead', and you can always ask for forgiveness.
Even if that person has passed on.
Finally, I don't have any idea where this comes from, but...
It just came.
Say what ya want in reply, I'm just passing on the message.
'I LOVE YOU'
Maybe it means something to you.
Could be anything.
I'll leave it up to you.
G'night Zigs...

Come on dude, don't just give away your life. We love you and God does too. God knows what you are going through, becuase HE went through it himself. We'll be here for you no matter what, and never forget that. And no matter how low you sink, God will be there for you, because i've sunk pretty low in the past, but he was there for me.
GOD LOVES YOU
never forget that.

Yay! I got my first virtual hug! I think...
I was wondering if I could do a fan fic, about my life... If you want some sort of fantasy in it, I will, people say they want to know a bit more, and I thought a more in depth journal, I won't include too much, in case I hurt anymore sensetive people.. Or I won't do it at all, I need your say FM5

Hey, sounds good to me. Anything that can make the pain go away... :] Oh and if you ever need a virtual hug again, let me know. I pack a ton with me everywhere I go! ;]
(Btw, Blaze, don't say keep swearing to minimum because I don't allow ANY of it... I hate when people swear, it's foul... ~_~)
