DOUBT

'Picture a small boy frustrated with a jigsaw puzzle because he is certain that the pieces do not fit the picture on the box. We are like this when we doubt. Each doubt makes us feel that this time we have found a real problem with God. But shake the pieces up a little, rearrange the one or two that we have put in the wrong place and everything changes. It is not the fault of the puzzle or the picture but the boy.
It is the same with our doubts. What we begin by calling God's problem ends up being seen as our problem that God solves.'
Os Guiness, God in the Dark, p.215.
