Your Search for Life

And you ask the LORD, "What are You doing?" Because you are finally curious. Because you are at the end of your trying. Because you have no way of knowing what is going on, how it will turn out, or when the relief will happen. No way. No way of knowing. In the chaos and the turmoil and struggle. There is no way of knowing.


So you ask.


"What are Your ways, LORD?"

"What are You doing? In me? In them? In Your Body?"


Because you just want to know.


How. Why. When.


But, what a good place to be. Despair in this life. What a good place to be.


So, you, let your despair continue to draw you to the Only One Who is faithful. Always. To seek Him. Let your despair draw you to your knees. So that you can look up. To find Him, that He is always there. That He's got this!


And there, you find Life. Because there is when you finally accept your serving of the Bread of Life, and you drink your cup of the Living Water. It is. When. When everything inside of you longs for and seeks for and desires and aches for the Living Word. For Christ. For Life. There, you find Christ.


For He is there. Always was, and now you know it.


Because you know Him.


And you see the how, the why, the when. They are all by, for, and in Him. In Christ Jesus, your Lord!


Because life, true, abundant, real life is Christ's Life. Only. Always. Forever. Christ.
