the line that defines

there are so many grey areas in life. sometimes u cross that line, and u risk hurting someone, dont cross it and you end up in internal conflict... we human beings (or most of us) aren't made like computers, where its on-off, yes-no etc.

where do you draw the line between indifference and being overly concerned?
where do you draw the line between being over-analytical and taking things at face-value?
where do you draw the line between jugding and admonishing?
where oh where?

sometimes makes you wish we were programmed like computers now doesn't it? but where would the fun in that be?

we all go around searching for answers.. we search high and low, not realising that the answer is there all the while, in the evening breeze, in the rising and setting sun.. they all tell us that there IS someone who holds all the answers... the all-knowing God.. its just a matter of whether we want to trust Him to reveal them to us.. to take hold of His hand and let Him guide us through all the uncertainties.. it is hard to let go of selfish pride and let go of the reins.. but if only we could see the joy and peace that comes from trusting!

and i've found the perfect song that resonates these uncertainties...

Here I am
In a river of questions
Can I pour my heart out to a listening ear?
I see this life
Its valley's and mountains
And I think of all the roads that brought me here

I've questioned my reasons
The life I'm living
I've questioned my ability
To judge wrong from right
I've questioned all the things that I've ever called certain
My race, my religion, my country, my mind

But the one thing I don't question is you
You really love me like you say you do
You really love me like you say you do
Hold me
Hold me

I've questioned significance
Meaning and relevance
Does the work I'm doing really matter at all?
Well I've questioned my friendships
Alliance, dependence
Who will still be here when I fall?

Only one thing doesn't change
Only one thing stays the same
All I know at the end of the day is your love remains

- the one thing by Paul Colman

to know that there is one constant in life, that is God and His amazing love for us, should be comfort enough in this life where uncertainties and questions abound.
