When answers aren't enough, there is Jesus.

"If we hold tightly to anything given to us unwilling to allow it to be used as the Giver means it to be used we stunt the growth of the soul. What God gives us is not necessarily "ours" but only ours to offer back to him, ours to relinguish, ours to lose, ours to let go of, if we want to be our true selves. Many deaths must go into reaching our maturity in Christ, many letting goes."
Elisabeth Elliot (Passion and Purity: Learning to Bring Your Love Life Under Christ's Control)
