Hopeful Uncertainty
Gaahh. I’m slouching off to a non-blogging mode again. Before the cobwebs form, I better post something.
Exciting things are happening.
But its always a fight to keep it going. There are so many things happening in my life right now that don’t look particularly promising, but my 2010-good-feeling is not wearing off yet. Its gonna get better, I know it! :B
And all the time, I’m being reminded front left right back centre that its about: Jesus.
I got this off a newsletter from ReImagine, it says:
“One of the greatest scandals in the life and teachings of Jesus is the possibility that the maker of the universe is caring and active within the immediacy, beauty and struggle of our lives. Rather than God being an elegant but unreal ideal or a cold and distant judge, Jesus demonstrates a relationship with the divine being that is tender, personal, powerful and presently available.”
I love how following Jesus is full of paradoxes. A smart person (I can’t remember who, sorry) said when the world comes into maturity in terms of spirituality, we will all learn to embrace all the questions, the paradoxes, as a beautiful mystery of life, and stop fighting to rid ourselves of the ‘unknown’, the uncertainty, yet at the same time thirsting to know more, the more we know. That’s exactly how I feel about Jesus right now. The apostle John said, there were many things that Jesus did that were unaccounted for – the same way there is so much our Creator has done, in other worlds, other galaxies, and one day He will take us for a magnificent tour about the many other things He did while we were occupied on planet Earth.
I will try to rememeber who said that line. ![]()
