faith, hope and love

I'm falling more in love with my creator everyday

"The unfailing love of the Lord never ends! By His mercies we have been kept from complete destruction. Great is His faithfulness; His mercies begin afresh each day. I say to myself 'The Lord is my inheritance; therefore, I will hope in Him!'"
Lamentations 3:22-24

This blog is to inspire. Inspire both myself and anyone who chooses to follow me. And it's a way for me to express the inner workings of my mind without telling my friends every detail like I do sometimes haha

Asking God "Why?"...

Person:
Is asking why tantamount to a lack of trust in God's sovereignty?
Kreeft:
Just the opposite...
Person:
Well...with suffering is all we're left with is that God has a greater purpose or is there another answer to that question?
Kreeft:
If you weren't deeply connected with God, you wouldn't be asking him why. If you had left him, there would be no concern. The question "Why?", if it's asked from the heart, presupposes a relationship; it wants to add reason to faith. There is some faith there - faith not just as thought but as personal trust - and then that faith is ignorant. And since it's accompanied by love, it wants to know more! If you love somebody you want to know more about them, so he keeps asking God "Why this? Why that?" That's very good. Jesus never once discouraged that kind of question. That's just intellectual honesty.
