Darkness

"Where is God in the darkness?". When the passage was talking about the question sometimes being more important than the answer I took a second look and was astonished. Answers like this leave us with raw blank information, but for us to really grow in a time of darkness we need the question and only the question because this many times opens up a door to growing and learning not just spiritually but mentally and maturely, if thats even a word. Like the passage said, "it is time not for answers but for questions that defy answers,”.
I really like the lines, There has to be some serious doubt, otherwise faith becomes merely a dogmatic formula, an orthodoxy, a way of evading the complexity of life rather than engaging honestly with life.” This rings true to my life. I feel like I am completely helpless to help somebody if I haven't experienced something tragic too. It is very difficult to me, I know that if I was in a world of hurt and somebody came up to me saying it will be alright I would be quite angry with them if they have not been through what I been through. I wouldn't even want to hear them speak to me. I know that this seems harsh but its the truth. The truth can hurt, no matter if the truth is darkness and despair or the unknown in times of uncertainty.

  2. I love your last sentence. I think it is more important to be truthful than to try to use your own words.
    I dont know about other people, but I just want the truth.

  3. I agree with Heather. Your last sentence summed it up and I think we all need to come to realize that seeing truth is the only way to make it all work right.
