Life's Questions

Life is filled with questions. Some of them go unanswered (and we're never quite sure why that is). At times, those unanswered questions create nagging, spirit-destroying doubt. Some of us choose to live with those doubts. We ignore them and move on. Others become cynical and bitter, with hard hearts as a result of our doubts.

But spiritually mature Christ-followers reject those options. Instead, they make peace with their unanswered questions, and learn to live in harmony with life's ambiguities. They continue to ask the questions - and always believe that there are answers. But they know that God is in control of the answers and that He will reveal those answers to us in His perfect timing.
