“Answers.”

 

E,

 


 

Life will test you. This is the way it goes. It will ask you questions and throw up difficulties. I hate to be so general, but this is true. It will come in specific colours and will speak to your specific flaws and strengths from time to time. It will demand you have answers. You will not. Do not be sad about this. No one has the answers. Everyone has to make them up as they go along.

 

The true answer to things is usually in character and not in action or words. These two might feature but they must always come from a position of character. It is not simply what you say or do that matters but the things behind both. Who you are and why you are that way.

 

The answers will come from being not from acting good.  No one can act long enough to not let their true character show. And we do not stand on our own character in this. We are fallen and flawed creatures. We belong to the Christ and we stand on who he is. From fall to fall. We rise up in his glory. That character, of love above all and in its true form, is the answer to everything.
