If you could ask just one question of God, what would it be? That's a question that was recently posted on facebook. As I read through 126 comments I was struck with the similarity of the questions. There were three themes to what people wanted to know of God. The first was, why do bad things happen? The second was when are You coming back? The third was, what is your purpose for my life.
I have found myself asking those same three questions of God at random times throughout my life. I've settled the questions of why God let's bad things happen, and when is He returning home. I am currently camped at the "what is your purpose for my life" question. Just when I think I have some sort of understanding, I'm hit with another blow that seems to prove me wrong. I want so badly to do God's will for my life, but sometimes it seems so elusive. If only I knew what it was, I'd do it.
Regardless of all the questions, come Lord Jesus, come!
