the opposite of faith is not doubt.
without doubt there would be no faith.
why are we here? what was before God? how come God just exists? why is there suffering? why does God allow child abuse? why is there murder? how did God feed the five-thousand? why is there cancer? how did God decide what the world would look like? does God find humor in things? why are humans the only beings that can have a relationship with him? is hell really final? what is heaven like? what about the poeple who are good but never learned about God? what is the future like? when will God come to take his children home? how will God come? why did Jesus have to die? how did God choose the timing for Jesus to come to earth? why is believing so hard? is it ok to be mad at God? does God really love everyone? how can God forgive me when i have such a hard timeforgiving others? why did God create emotions? what are emotions? does God get sad? does God laugh? how can God be everywhere at once? how does he know the future? did God decide how everything will turn out? does he decide who will go to heaven? why do people have to die? why do we have to get sad? how did God come up with crying? how did he design the human body? how did he come up with languages? why is there disease? does God really know everything? how does he know everything? why is God silent sometimes? why doesn't God talk to us? why can't we see God?
why are we here?
i think i have more doubts than answers...
but i also think... that God loves an honest question.
i learn more from questions than i do from answers. they lead to more questions and then more wonder at what i do not understand but what God does.
and i'm ok with that. as long as i don't have to know everything and as long as i can ask, i'm ok with that.
still me, still learning,
