Day 4: The Answer


If you are allowed only one question

that you can ask

GOD, what would it be? And what if

GOD

never answered you

in the way that you wanted HIM

to answer,

then would that really be a question or a test? Hmm.

Think about it.

Why do bad things happen to good people? Why don't YOU mend this relationship? Why did _______ have to suffer so much? Why am I depressed when I am following YOU? Where are YOU when I need YOU? Why did YOU even create apples when you knew Eve would eat one? BUT then GOD answers,

BUT in a way that is so absurd

that you don't like HIS answer

so you move on to another something or someone

to find the answers to the questions of life,

because you believe

GOD flunked your test.

BUT

you still can't find the right answers.

Therefore you become more frustrated than before.

BUT then it happens because

GOD

never stops pursuing you,

even though

HE

doesn't have the exact answer that you think you want or need.

BUT BECAUSE

you are at your wits end

that you have no choice but to

you look up & listen

with your whole heart & mind

&

then everything starts to make sense,

BUT

in such an absurd way

that is so simple that you almost want to complicate it.

JESUS! A NAME that is used so loosely. A NAME "that's too religious" for me. A NAME that is used for holidays twice a year. And yes,

if you think of

JESUS

as just a name then just a name

HE is.

BUT

if you make

JESUS

the answer to all your questions

then just maybe you will have your answers. "JESUS answered them, 'Do you finally believe?

In fact, you’re about to make a run for it—saving your own skins and abandoning ME.

But I’m not abandoned. The FATHER is with ME. I’ve told you all this so that trusting ME,

you will be unshakable and assured, deeply at peace.

In this godless world you will continue to experience difficulties. But take heart! I'VE conquered the world.'” (John 16:33)

Therefore

Ask the ONE who is always

THE ANSWER

to all your questions

no matter what your question is

because

"JESUS IS THE ANSWER"
