Some of you thought when you became
a Christian that you would gain all the
answers to lifes difculties. Here is a
reality check and hopefully a pressure
release for some of you: Just because
we are Christians doesnt mean we know
how to respond to everything that comes
our way. We dont have all the answers.
In Brennan Mannings book Ruthless
Trust, he tells the story of the brilliant
ethicist John Kavanaugh who went to
work for three months at the house of
the dying in Calcutta. He was seeking a
clear answer as to how best to spend the
rest of his life. On the frst morning there
he met Mother Teresa who asked, And
what can I do for you? Kavanaugh asked
her to pray for him. What do you want
me to pray for? she asked. He voiced
the request that he had borne thousands
of miles from the United States: Pray
that I have clarity. She said frmly, No, I
will not do that. When he asked her why,
she said, Clarity is the last thing you are
clinging to and must let go of. When
Kavanaugh commented that she always
seemed to have the clarity he longed for,
she laughed and said, I have never had
clarity; what I have always had is trust.
So I will pray that you trust God.
The reality is, we often have more
questions than we do answers.
Sometimes we lack the faith that will give
us sustained hope. Even though we know
God is with us, sometimes we feel utterly
and completely alone.
The reality is, even though we know, we
doubt.
Most of us believe that the more spiritually
mature we become the more clarity we
will have. Maybe the truth is that the more
spiritually mature we become the less
clarity we need.
The elders are:
Wayne & Natalie
Simmons, Errol &
Shelagh Campbell,
Garfeld & Brenda
MacDonald and
Tom & Nadine
Zawacki.
