I find myself pondering many things: things in my mind, things on my heart, and even questioning if God is speaking to me. We have so little assurance in this life. No assurance that the phone will ring as you hope to receive a call, no assurance that life will happen as though we desire, no assurance of anything on this earth, our only true assurance is that God is there waiting for us. Waiting for us to turn to Him and say: that's it ... it's yours, she's yours, I'm yours, I am nothing without you Lord.
What do we expect to give us joy in our lives? Our friends, the ability we have to run or dance, banana granola pancakes? Maybe we are not looking in the right place. But if God is giving me direction and leading my heart, do I trust what I'm now experiencing? Is this where he has led me?
I ponder the following quote tonight. May it give you hope and peace as it does me.
"I beg you...to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don't search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer..." -Rainer Maria Rilke
