WHY

[Translate]

Why do we want what we cannot have

Why do we reach for what we can’t possibly get

Why do our hearts take us where our head knows we shouldn’t go

Why do we run towards trouble

Why do we have to be prodded to do right

Why is “IT” never enough

Why does the darkness bring pain

Why does yesterday seem to be forever ago

Why does tomorrow never come

Why does opportunity only knock once

Why does a grain of a mustard seed seem so HUGE

Why does today slip away unnoticed

Why does the sun not warm through the bitter cold

Why does “IT” matter to them

Why do we care what “they” think

Why do we feel like 100% is not as good as 120%

Why do we see the good in others before we see the great in ourselves

Why does it matter anyway

Why……

    Love it! Excellent examples of how living in this world effects our Christian walk and a reminder that we are to die daily to our flesh and live by the Spirit that is in us as we are no of this world… Hallelujah!

    For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. – Romans 8:13

      Thanks for this!!

      I wrote it shortly before Christmas, and struggled with if I should publish it or not. I hope it encourages others in that we all ask why AND it’s ok, but we shouldn’t just stay there that it, as you mention, is something daily we need to work on.

      you encourage and inspire me!! Thank you for that!

    Prior to coming to the Lord, many if not most of these questions could be associated with me and the way I lived my life. Since coming to the Lord, I can honestly say old things did pass away and yes all things became new. The Lord just didn’t fix or rehibilitate, He made me NEW. I am a new creature! New in EVERY respect, which can only be continually brought about by trusting Christ, and what he did for us at the Cross†. I know today the only way we can overcome anything negative is by placing our Faith exclusively in the Cross† of Christ and keeping it there! We worship the Lord in Spirit and in Truth, and the Cross† is that truth. Thank God for the Expositor’s Study Bible!

      Soooo true. Faith in Christ and keeping it there.

      I was working when these words, questions just flooded my heart. Literally out of nowhere they came.

      I penned it, hoping to use them/make sense of it later.

      Thank you for taking the time to read and share your thought about them.
