This poem is a journey through different facets of trust to create a synopsis

Oh achy heart  with no one to trust
the weary soul with no place to call home,
The heavy head with no shoulder to rest on
How your internal war isolates you
It is indeed a hard decision to make
An arduous road to take  
When you consider that words first be can sweet yet the truth about them is bitter
you travel down that road once more 

Oh, naive heart,
 look once and then again because the one you trust is not worthy,
it is one who reads from a well-written script,
listen more than you feel is necessary,
because the puzzle is solvable, 
when the pieces do not fit it is not a mystery but a clue.

If only you could see the truth then you would soar over the isolation,
 over the heaviness
There is but one that is worthy of all trust
God alone
But on earth, there are a few he has placed
 Because the curious thing is we need each other
The creator did not make us to build walls but to build bridges.

The existential crisis of Job: The search for meaning

The phrase " existential crisis" may sound deep and far fetched to you so lets use Job's story to set it up. Let's introduce Job, a wealthy man with kids who do what most rich kids do, they party. He has lots of land. Set up a large farm in your  mind and add some 7000 sheep, 3000 camels, 1000 oxen  and 500 female donkeys. You need a lot of land to hold all those animals! He is a man with so much integrity that one book of the bible is dedicated to him. The question is why did he have so many trials? Everything went wrong in Job's life, yes e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g. It all started with something he could not see in Job chapter 1. God boasts about Job and Satan tells God that the only reason Job serves him is because of the things God does for him.  His proposition is for God to let him , Satan, switch things around so that Job would curse God. God agrees but states that Satan cannot take Job's life.                 ...

Divided Loyalty

James 1:5-6 in the NLT version. Most versions write about doubt in verse 6 but here it calls doubt having "divided loyalty". The presence of that divided loyalty causes inward instability. It's like constantly switching between one of two options without picking one. The book of James has a very practical matter-of-fact approach and it encourages us to just make a choice. In this particular verse, it encourages us to pick faith over doubt.  " But when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind." James 1:6 NLT https://bible.com/bible/116/jas.1.6.NLT #faith#doubt#waivering#faithblogger#bibleverse#christianinspiration
