December 8, 2014Have a Little Faith!
A line that I have been told many a time. Sometimes I welcome it, and on other occasions I feel like knocking down the messenger. It’s tough sometimes to believe in God, others, and even myself when life deals a bad hand and I have no clue how to play it. Even worse are the times when I feel like all I am getting are bad hands, every round! Like what the hell. Sometimes I just wanna scream. Gimme an ease up nah! And this is when someone will say “boy, have faith”
Those words eat away at my core. Don’t I have faith? Isn’t it enough? If I am trying so hard why is all this crap happening? God where are you? God! What are you really doing for me?
This is the situation I find myself in at the beginning of Advent. There’s real tension between seeing and not seeing the hand of God in my life, and I am not entirely sure what to do, and how to grow in my faith.
Can you help?
