lately, i’ve been wondering so much about the history of my faith. i’m not questioning the inerrant truths of the bible, but my soul is lacking the rich past of the christ-followers who journeyed centuries before me; their traditions (and most importantly the meaning behind those traditions), their ideals, their loves, god’s glorification through them.
my soul is lacking the mystical and unexplainable aspects of my faith.
i think sometimes we try too hard to explain the unexplainable and in doing so, we somehow lessen the power of the mystery and beauty of our heavenly father has; and unfortunately we confine our existence on the earth to glorify him into a neat little box.
although biblical application to our lives is necessary for our survival, not to mention our very worship and communion with god, why must we always have an answer for everything that happens in life? why must we justify everything?
we drain the wonder out of all things wonderful.
and then the only thing we are left wondering about is why our lives lack the spark and mystery we had as children…in a time before we knew it all.
in a time where all we did was wonder.
