Why?

Why? 

Questions asked in the dark have a way of bringing me into light. 

Instead of fear closing in, I draw near.

Up close and personal. 

To the One who knows all.

What’s your name?

“What’s your name?” I ask. And the man stumbles over his answer. 

Gives me one response. Then another. 

At first I think it’s miscommunication. I’m still learning culture and language, after all.

But soon I hear the story behind the struggle. 

His story.

hope

The one who speaks truth finds himself walled in. Weighed down. Worn out.

No hope. Only the crooked path. And a deep pit. Face in the gravel.

Affliction. With no end in sight.

This. When he’s fearlessly made known God’s ways. And wept over the judgment of a disobedient people.

Jeremiah laments.
