I don't know how everyone else talks to God...prays to God...same thing.
Do you ever just ask Him lots of questions? Not only ask though, do you expect answers?
I'm not saying we should EXPECT anything from Him...He has made promise after promise after promise to us already....and not only that, He made this amazing sacrifice to redeem us... Why then do we really ask Him for more?
No, I don't really believe that we SHOULDN'T ask Him questions...or pray to him for requests...because I think that's part of a relationship. I believe He WANTS us to ask Him questions...and if you have requests in this life, who better to bring them to than the Creator of Life? And He DOES listen to us...so we should bring Him everything that we need to.
But solely the topic of questions...I just seem to have more lately. Ugh...I wish I was more simple minded... :/
My questions are sort of simple though. No more complicated than the type of question a daughter would ask her dad such as "Why is the sky blue?" I mean...I think we probably all wondered WHY once... ha maybe not...
My dad always says ... "It's good to ask questions. You learn that way."
Yeah...seems true. I guess to live and never WONDER would be boring...I mean, there's so many cool things around us, so many interesting things we DON'T know...so many ways GOD can impress us.
But when it comes to asking God deep questions...some people say, "You'll never know, least not till heaven..so why ask?" I'm not sure that's good enough. I think...we wonder for good reason. I think wondering leads us to thinking...leads us to praying...leads us to releasing the idea that "knowledge" holds anything in comparison to GOD, himself.
This post is really going nowhere. All I know now is that WONDERING is good. God wants us to wonder...because He wants us to be His children who CARE...about Him and His ways. I then think that He will teach us. :) Just like my daddy says..."Learning is so good"...ha too bad those World Books 2004 daddy bought us don't hold all of life's answers and wouldn't even compare to God's Encyclopedia of Life.
You are very good (and so is God). I'm so happy my daughter thinks aloud. I'm very proud of you for just being you and doing your part to live Jesus. Keep questioning (and breathing). And the World Books are 2002...ha. -- Dad
