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.

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,”.

Very good post, You had a powerful quote with, "The truth can hurt, no matter if the truth is darkness and despair or the unkown in times of uncertainty."
ReplyDeleteI love your last sentence. I think it is more important to be truthful than to try to use your own words.
ReplyDeleteI dont know about other people, but I just want the truth.
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.
