The Question...
Tweet
This simple turn of words reminds me of the concept that God is more of an event and interaction than a final destination at which to arrive. It also challenges the common assumption that those with the religious answers are "further along" spiritually than those who are questioning God and faith.
When we engage God, we find more questions. If we aren't being challenged with questions, maybe we aren't engaging with God. Like Thomas Merton said, "If you find God with great ease, perhaps it is not God that you have found."
