We all have questions.
In our life, as our circumstances pile up upon us, as the mystery of tomorrow becomes today, different questions rise from our hearts and our minds, especially when what we experience does not meet our expectations of our life or of God:
Why did this or that happen?
What shall we do now?
Who will help us?
Where is our God?
When will this trial be over?
Which way shall we go?
And thousand other questions fill our waking days and our restless nights.
In the midst of our questions posed before God in time as we experience it, as we look for answers and solutions and reasons why, there if we stop and rest in the silence we encounter another question; a question that comes from the depth of the universe itself, a question that trumps all of our questioning, "Do you believe I can do this?"
Jesus speaks the question that God has posed from eternity to us all, "Do you believe I can do this?"
Here, God listens to our many questions and he waits for our answer to his. He waits. Will we have the courage of the blind men and say the words Jesus longs to hear, "Yes, Lord!"
In God's question to us we find the strength to trust, to breathe, to live.
In our "Yes" we begin to see. Hope is discovered in God's question to us!
