THE UNKNOWN

Everyday we face the unknown. 

I believe that life is precious and God gives me strength when I face difficult and dark days.

Watching the news we see war and violence, hunger and sickness.
Will there ever be peace between Israel  and the Gaza,  will they stop
murdering each other?    Will they find a home and a country where they can survive?  As usual the innocent suffer the most.

How can we know the whole truth and hear both sides of the issues?
What can we believe about the news we see and read and is the truth actually one day going to be revealed?

How do we find the faith that can produce hope and  keep us going?  Is there really a God?  Why are there so many misunderstandings?    How was something created out of nothing? 

Why is so much of life flawed and blemished?  Not only is perfection hard to grasp but so is the idea of God.
Does life have meaning and purpose?  How do I find out mine?
“Whatever we might imagine God to be-a good God, a loving God, an all-powerful God,
an all-knowing God- it is vital to remember that we can move from hope to belief to knowing.
 We can be reasonable and we do not have to be purely mystical.  He (She) is mystery! !

One thing I know for certain all of us human beings are imperfect and no one has all the answers.


Do we have to choose between science and religion?  I say no, they are two separate ways of looking at our world, each shines light on the other with their own knowledge and excellence!

All we can say is God does not exist for me or God does exist for me.  It is the same as believing in love, trust. and the deeper meaning to our existence.

The spiritual path can begin with a state of uncertainty but one that can be hopeful.
I believe is a place of security and can lead to a true understanding that is knowing.
Every individual finds out for themselves especially if they are willing to keep asking questions and keep searching.  If you are a Buddhist you call this enlightenment and knowing.

Face the unknown and ask yourself why you know what you know.  Keep an open mind.  Se the good in people.  Learn from the life of Jesus and other wise saints or seers.  Read and learn from the spiritual experiences of others.

To experience times of  deep calm, strength or knowingness in times of trouble is God's presence with you!

I did not feel so good yesterday but I believed that today I would feel better.
