Yes. Life can truly be a journey and a difficult one
at that.
But just remember. Most of the time it was not God
who made finding him hard, but satan.
Had you known the truth of your world, that we live
under a solid "firmament" it would not have been
nearly as hard to find the truth of Jesus Christ.
Thank God you found him in spite of satan's attempts
to hide him from you (and the world).
