Maturity comes when we develop faith beyond the why of pain—why did this happen to me? You must believe in the Who beyond the why? Beloved, sometimes there is no answer from God beyond the why on this side of eternity. Sometimes, all there is is that place I call faith where you are invited to live for an indefinite amount of time with all your questions and your God.
Faith is a place of peace. Faith holds our “whys” safe and secure in the arms of our Lord, who loves us passionately. Faith is our hope, and His Word promises that hope, in Him, will not disappoint (see Roman 5:3-5).
