Who do I believe in
and what need I do?
Can I believe without the evidence
that every word agrees
and every miracle is proved?
Must my prayers be triumphant
and I be pure
before my hopes be true?
Need my faith stand without
support for my frail and doubting humanity?
Am I able to receive
without working for worthiness
allowing my troubled soul to be adored by You,
the One who hears my heartcry?
Can I rest in Your love, and,
letting go of my expectations,
simply allow You to be?
Am I able to believe in You
as you are,
giving you the right of revelation
without interpretations of my own?
And,
can I answer every question with one word;
Grace.

Geoff, that is really profound. Just started to re-read Genesis and the inconsistencies are blatant. The world view of the modernist - which is my educational backgroud - would have me discard it. Faith says get out of the boat. Not walking on water but I am afloat. I (we, husband Martin and I) are looking to a complete change in direction in the very near future and through it all I've realized my concept of God had shrunk. Can't put him in a box can we? And if we try he just wriggles right out and surprises us with contradictions...
The it as very exciting adventure when we let go of all the religious expectations that once crippled our spirituality. Nice to hear from you Yeggy
