waiting for answers to life

" many of us have more questions and doubts than deep, meaningful, fulfilling answers. Many things frighten us - finances, the future, relationships, career moves. Many things unsettle us - partners, spouses, bosses, colleagues, friends, children. Many things haunt us - the past, the present, the future. All of us are in search of a clear cut answer to the ever-evasive slippery existence called life. The reality is that we won't find all the answers in religion or spirituality. Some answers, yes but not all. And it's not going to happen overnight. The Spirit of God will supply us the answers we need, when we need them, as we need them. The mystery of God's workings in the lives of human beings will never be curtailed by our feeble human attempts to explain it all away. It'll take a lifetime and eventhen, we'll probably leave this earth without knowing it all. We all learn to get used to the mysteries that surround us.



In time, we will see that not every question demands an answer, because some of life's most meaningful and fulfilling moments happen outside the question and answer forum. It's what we do with the here and now that makes us the human beings God wants us to be..."
