Uriah is a very complicated person. Her entire life is complicated, but not really. To explain why it is complicated, but not really, the day she found eternal, and unconditional love needs to be explained. Growing up Arella taught Uriah that there is a God that has such a deep love for His creation that He sent His Son to die for mankind. Further more, there is a section in God's word that speaks of how God loved people so much that he won't ever let them go. (Romans 8: 37-39) For Uriah, who was dissatisfied in the love she was shown by her parents; discovering this was the single most amazing thing she has ever come across.
I can hear you wondering exactly how Uriah thought that her parents didn't love her. Here it is: her mother neglected her, and eventually left her; and her father (who she eventually lived with) would hit her, and say the meanest things to her. Deep down Uriah knew that she was wanted at some point in her life. Pallaton and Mara would not have let Uriah live if they did not love her. They would not have had a problem aborting Uriah. Mara aborted a baby before, Pallaton could have easily claimed that Uriah was not his biological daughter. However their limited understanding of love hurt Uriah deeply.
I don't want to make it seem as if Uriah doesn't have any meaningful relationships. There is Frieda and Cheris, Uriah's two best friends. They have helped her grow in so many different ways. Frieda and Cheris were there for Uriah in ways Pallaton and Mara could not be. For example Cheris and Frieda were Uriah's source of emotional stability, support, laughter, wisdom, and spiritual growth. They reminded Uriah how the world in Christ could really be. They were Uriah's source and example of love after Arella died. Also, lets not forget Pomona and Fia. Such a constant source of Joy and laughter!
This is Uriah's life. Her life is crazy, but it is a normal thing. There are the wonderful moments of peace in Uriah's life. Hard times are given to us all when we need to grow. Happy times are there when God just wants to bless. Sometimes there are moments when God gives us peace even as we go through hard times just to show that He is always with us. God loves us, protects us, provides for us, and teaches us; He is to be the ultimate example.
