And Can It Be . . . ?

That life offers more questions than answers.
That curiosity alone cannot solve mystery.
That pain is a part of growth.
And growth supposedly is only one sign of life.
Is existance possible without growth?
That all the material wealth in the world cannot buy happiness.
Aren't people with wealth more happy than those who suffer in poverty?
That suffering is one of the callings for the Christian.
Do we all really know what it means to suffer?
That we really need each other, to bear one another's burdens.
So why do we persist in our quests toward self-sufficiency and independence
so that we are not a burden on one another?
That unity is really possible.
How can we conquer the sin of selfishness?
That all TIME, MONEY, POSSESSIONS,
FAMILY MEMBERS and ENERGIES belong to God.
Who am I to say, "they are mine; leave them alone!"
That our life can truly be under the Lordship of Jesus.
That we can see the Body of Christ transforming us and the world around us.
