TRUE THURSDAY THOUGHTS

It’s hard for me to express myself

When I’m still trying to process things

When I’ve walked alone to think through thoughts

And still am left with nothing

So many questions

So many unanswered

Is it possible 

That the I-don’t-knows are for my good

That the ignorance is truly bliss 

That all I know is what I can bear 

That I should just trust God’s faithfulness

If answers would weigh down my burdens

Maybe God should keep them with Him

If I am His sheep and I hear His voice

Maybe I should trust He’ll give them 

Why did this pandemic happen?

Is God really good? 

To ask that is to forget that sin exists

And that this is not the perfect world

Why did my mom get sick?

Is God really good? 

To ask that is to dwell on the cause behind evil

And lose sight of the hope of the future 

Why did anything happen ever?

Is God really good?

To ask that is to carry the weight of fully understanding 

The corruption of sin Jesus covered with His blood

Without suffering

We wouldn’t need a better world

Without disappointment

We wouldn’t desire Jesus’ return

So when I have questions for God

And come to Him with a plea for answers

I need to ask myself

Are my questions to better myself and others

Or to find a way out of circumstances

By wrapping my head around a system

That was never meant to be this broken
