A Curious Faith By Lore Ferguson Wilbertಮಾದರಿ
What are you looking for?
John 1
One of the most difficult parts of faith is being honest about what it is we actually want from God. We pretend our desires don’t exist. It’s not always because we don’t want to tell God what we’re looking for but because we don’t know what we’re looking for most of the time.
Being honest about what we want from God is hard work. It means allowing the questions of God to weigh on us, to not skip over the hard or uncomfortable ones or the ones that take too much work.
Being honest about God’s questions means following him to where he is and spending time with him there. It means sitting with his questions long enough that we’re no longer answering them with more questions or blurry abstracts but with actual answers.
What are you looking for? Just say it out loud.
Now keep doing that for a long, long time. Keep asking, keep spending time with the question, “What are you looking for?” Get brutally honest about it with God because he wants to know what you want. He asks because he’s curious.
What are you looking for in God or in faith? What do you want?
