Certain of uncertainty (Vol 1 No 60)


In life, with such uncertainty;       

We long to feel at peace;                

But with such complex liberty

We feel our stress increase.  

When, in the maze we grope each day,

‘Confusion’ is our name.

When change unsettles life, we say,

“Please, let things stay the same!”

 

No easy answers anymore;

We know there never was!

The slick and glib we now ignore;

We question more because

We know we are responsible

For this world of today;

We know God’s not accountable 

For what we do and say.

 

In knowledge, we have help at hand

To live life with less fear;

With learning, wisdom can expand,

And help the truth come clear.

But attitudes cannot remain

In ages long ago;

Our understandings must ordain

Beliefs that help us grow.

 

When we discern a brighter light,

Act out the God within,

Then - ‘God is love’- that great insight -

Is where we must begin.

We do not need a certainty,

However much desired;

For Jesus knew love’s energy

Is all that is required.
