Why ask why?
As Christians is it healthy for us to question? There are so many different interpretations and messages out there. Should that mean we should question then decide (or remain on the fence), or should we simply ignore all risky or edgy interpretations to find and seek truth only for ourselves.
It interested me yesterday that Anne Jackson asked a WHY question about being gay. What interested me more were the amount of people listing reasons why it was a sin, and in those reasons listing ways that we probably each sin daily, if not minutely or secondly. I know that shouldn’t take away from the original why question, but to me it did. It made me ask why are we asking why? Isn’t this God’s choice. Isn’t this a personal relationship in which we can have our own beliefs and follow a journey without asking why of other’s sins. It is a fine line. I fully believe in and respect the idea of accountability inside the Christian fellowship. And it trememndously helped me when I was in my own personal struggles. But if someone sees no issue and you have confronted them in love and a spirit of simple accountability, not judgment or condemnation, then isn’t that for them to handle on their own. I do believe that God has different plans for each of us, and maybe in that slower or faster journeys of self discovery. So…if we already know Jesus, I am just wondering, why do we ask why? Maybe it’s not as important as why he loves us, and why we in turn seek to love him.
Maybe it’s how, how do we do that?
How do I do that Jesus? How do I love you to my fullest? How do I go where you want me to go without wanting to run? How do I become others focused in a way that does not point out their flaws but grows me spiritually so that I can be more like you. Thank you for loving me. And thank you for giving me a heart with your desires and passions. Help me to not let my own gritty desires or selfishness get in the way of those. Keep my heart soft to those who need you, and hard to the sins I have most struggled with that are in my past. Continually take the me out and put You in, for without You I am lost and imperfect. Teach me how Father.
