The Fundamental Facts
I know that my existence and essence is a grace of God. That the world, the sun and the moon and the stars, the multitude of people and nations, my friends, my family, my material comforts and wealth and possessions, these are all the graces of God. If I am to ever falter in faith, then I must look back to the fundamental fact that all I have is evidence of God's existence, the supremely good Being. Yet I still have some troubles and doubts in my mind. Must I engage with them or must I throw away those thoughts?
The Simple or the Complex
Do I overcomplicate things by overthinking my relationship to God? Ah in the end it is always a matter of faith. Yet this understanding, this realization, is in of itself a grace of God. I feel that God likes to illuminate my conscience by pointing out the various errors of my ways, for the sake that I may correct them. And in writing this, I can feel the burdens being lifted away from me. I now understand that I just have to trust in God in all things, to foremost trust in Christ. For He loves me and He is the one who chose me, not I chose Him.
Being simple does not mean being shallow, sometimes being complex is actually shallow. I wish to penetrate and contemplate the depths of God, and I believe that only by a simple faith in Him, will I be able to achieve that depth, and of course that is all by the grace of God. Then I need not overcomplicate my faith and thoughts by unnecessary thoughts unordained by God. My troubles are finished.
