Joy and Disbelieving

Joy & Disbelieving

...In their joy they were disbelieving and still wondering... —Luke 24.41

God,

it's all here at once,

joy and disbelieving,

dullness and wonder.

Let my joy flower,

my disbelieving keep on wondering.

Give me the faith to watch in amazement,

to finally know what I know,

to rejoice before I understand.

Wonder, lead me

where I wouldn't go without you.

O soul, drag me into the dance,

guided in your arms,

looking into my Savior's eyes,

without even knowing it.

"Do it again!"

“Because children have abounding vitality, because they are in spirit fierce and free, therefore they want things repeated and unchanged. They always say, ‘Do it again’; and the grown-up person does it again until he is nearly dead. For grown-up people are not strong enough to exult in monotony. But perhaps God is strong enough to exult in monotony. It is possible that God says every morning, ‘Do it again’ to the sun; and every evening, ‘Do it again’ to the moon. It may not be automatic necessity that makes all daisies alike; it may be that God makes every daisy separately, but has never got tired of making them. It may be that he has the eternal appetite of infancy; for we have sinned and grown old, and our Father is younger than we.”   -G.K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy*
