Was it something I said, Lord? Or didn’t say?
Was it something I did? Or didn’t do?
What other questions can I ask, Lord? Questions without answers.
Will I ever understand? How can I, Lord, when all my questions just evaporate into thin air?
I met her last year. We had a wonderful time sharing our respective stories about how we each came to know and love You.
We parted ways with joyful anticipation of our next get-together. We were forever sisters… or so I thought.
I never expected her utter rejection.
Why will she not respond to my emails? Why will she not return my calls?
It’s a mystery. And, truth be told, it hurts.
You know all about such things… don’t You, Lord?
“He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering, and familiar with pain. Like one from whom people hide their faces He was despised and we held Him in low esteem.” (Isaiah 53:3)
This is nothing compared to what You experienced, Lord. Still… if only I could make sense of it, maybe I could fix it.
Sometimes, Life is a mystery beyond solving. And we just have to keep living with our questions.
Will I ever understand? How can I, Lord, when all my questions just evaporate into thin air?
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.” (Proverbs 3:5,6)
“For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.” (1 Corinthians 13:12)
Living with my questions, at least for now…
