still
June 10, 2005
We are a crazy people, we who claim to put our trust in a God. It doesn’t make any sense.
In
worship they said we believe in God and that makes everything just
fine, no matter how it seems now. I don’t think they were trying to
make light of painful and shitty situations, but to remind us that
ultimately we trust in the goodness of God.
This is crazy - we
must be mad to believe in the inherent goodness of a “being” we can’t
even prove exists. Yet I keep doing it. I’m a scholar at heart and
reason means the world to me, but there’s something deep inside that
tells me this is True, even if it is crazy - and I just know it is.
Why is it the simple things, the things I know by heart, that I need hear over and over again?
be still and know that i am god
Why is my memory so poor that I can forget the fundamental truths on which I have chosen to live my life?
be still and know that i am god
How is it that I allow life to get so loud and start spinning so fast that I forget that which grounds me?
be still and know that i am god
How have I forgotten to just be still and remember?
be still and know that i am god
I am truly an amnesiac child of God.
be still and know that i am god
