When God asks that, how do we respond?
Jesus came to earth and was crucified.
Did he trust God? Presumably so.
And it led to a cross.
I’ve read the missionary biographies.
I know about wives who go insane,
Children buried young,
Eager volunteers who die en route.
Do I trust you for my salvation? Yes.
Unequivocally.
But you don’t make life pain free,
And you sometimes seem wasteful,
And if it were up to me, I confess
I sometimes think I would do things a different way.
I can relate to St. Teresa of Avila
Who, when Jesus said,
"Teresa, that's how I treat my friends,"
Replied, "No wonder you have so few."
This is not meant to be unfaithful.
It’s just meant to be honest.
