Love, faith, belief
by Brother Andy
God is light, and there is no darkness at all in him
Through God’s love, Jesus is our way our truth and our life..
By God’s might we are sustained and we breathe; the very breath which inspires us to faith, hope, love, wisdom, discernment, knowledge, and awe. Filled with His Spirit we prophesy, we heal, we speak angelic tongues and yet.
Yet, there is darkness too! Those times when I have ceased to believe Love encompasses all the evil we have wrought. Belief is suspended in my own helplessness, my despair that Christ will never return, and if he does
will he find faith on earth?
This then is my revolving door through which I journey from light to darkness and back again; from belief to agnosticism through to ever stronger, deeper faith. , for only in knowing darkness can I understand the light.. Only by knowing the uncertainty of fear can I discover love once more!
God has made all things and all things have their being in him. God is in the wars, the bombs the death camps, for he surrounds all our evil with hope of love. Any evil there is in this world comes spewing from our hearts for our fear and terror of one another will obliterate the earth - if we let it.
There is no legless, slithering snake to blame for my mistakes, no devil that made me do it. There is just my darkness, the things in me I will not own. Those things of me I fear in others.
Yet God is there waiting in the shadow behind my back and when I have embraced all of my own then I have embraced God and have known him in my darkness.
And so I journey on!
