struggle

Question: Would it be better to continuously struggle in seeking the truth, risking disillusionment, frequent doubts, frustration and a screwed-up life? Or quell the storm within, soothing burning questions with good, logical and correct methods and answers, enabling a functional, contributing life. Being accepted in society as a role model with much to give and teach.

Too many questions, too many doubts and not enough answers. I have learned that the questions do not lessen with the seemingly increasing amount of knowledge gained. They say that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of all wisdom. And yet, even the wisest remain as mere men.

Acknowledging God as the supreme being to whom all praise, honor and glory belong to, believing that salvation is real and grace is for everyone…and yet never ceasing to doubt my own faith.

Knowing that human comprehension will never suffice and still, always searching for answers.

Where Faith is overshadowed by doubt and Love tarnished by sin, Hope remains. A frail flickering flame gently fanning a passion to seek after the one I call God, Saviour, Father and Friend.
