NO SENSE

There are too often moments in life that defy explanation. We look at the event and all we can do is shake our head. It just truly digs at us and we cry out to try and find some way injustice can be made to make sense.

In the end so often we only find the answer within. A searching of what we know in hopes the experience library will have some applicable volume. While we are searching we know deep down that book isn't there, but we hope just the same.

So we sit back and contemplate to grasp for some meaning of it all. Most of the time it in ends up still making no sense.

Eventually for the person who believes in God the question sneaks into the mind. Where is God? Why do totally insane things happen? How come nice people seem to suffer and bad people escape punishment?

I can't imagine there is a single person who hasn't at one time or another asked some of those questions whether they believe in God or not. It is only natural.

And no matter how hard a person tries there are just times when it is impossible to come to a point of understanding that truly works. Volumes have been written to discuss such things, but honestly the soul still feels the absence when another event occurs that we can't understand.

I don't expect to honestly be able to provide perfect answers to such situations either. I don't have some special access to the heavens that would grant me such ability.

What I do know is that life wasn't as far as I'm concerned ever intended to lend itself to such explanations. That nothing I've seen suggest me that God isn't real.

What I do feel is that the only time we will have a chance to fully understand such questions is in the presence of the Lord. That may not be the kind of answer some will accept.

I'm not going to pretend that is enough of a solution, only that you can not honestly expect otherwise in this life. Some will try to defend that this is for the best or it is okay.

But I'm not going to suggest that. What I am going to say is that for me I'm content to accept that God is truly a loving God and if I have to wait till eternity for it to make sense, then I am willing to wait.

My choice of course. Not one that everyone will respect or accept. But I would rather offer an honest comment that pretend it will make sense.

And perhaps along the way we can summon the hope that we will all long for the time when hope and faith will bring answers.
