When did it get so complicated?
Why does my heart feel so heavy?
Why do I not know,
The reason for my sorrow?
When will the questions cease?
When will the judgers quit?
What will the outcome be?
How will we know we’ve been right?
Will there come a time,
When everyone is at peace,
With themselves
And with each other!
When did it get so complicated?!

It is amazing how many questions people have about faith and God and Christianity. I have become so much more aware of these questions and doubts that people have while giving out tea and coffee on a Monday night outside the students union. But one question in particular has really made me think because I think sometimes it’s something that I often think about as well. It was a question about faith…When people are the sorta people who need answers straight away, how can they believe in God?
I am personally very glad that I wasn’t asked this question but I overheard the conversation but I have to admit sometimes I find myself asking this very thing! Like I know as Christians we ‘walk by faith and not by sight’ and that is all very well but sometimes it is a very hard thing to explain, even to myself and I do find that I struggle with it a lot and I am blessed to have Jesus as my Saviour already so how do you go about trying to explain this to a non Christian!?
There are so many things in my life that affirm that faith is the way forward and that God provides and everything is in His hands and His timing is perfect, but…why is it sometimes so hard to rest in that?! And when we think we are resting in it, are we really? Or is it a superficial ‘rest’ and really we are in turmoil inside!? When one thing or another goes belly up and I find myself lost and I turn to God, am I really trusting? I guess these are questions that only I can answer, but it is the niggly wee thoughts in the background that make me question things that I am finding hard to deal with!
Hmm…these are just things that have been on my mind…and I guess hearing other people ask similar questions has forced me to think about it even more!
Comments and thoughts most welcome on this one!
