Contradictions /10:04 PM
i know yet i dont know
i am aware yet i am unaware
i have yet i dont have
i would've known better yet i didnt know
i was first yet i was last
i am the top yet i am the rock bottom
i have it yet i have none
i am loaded yet i am empty
i can yet i cannot
i am nothing, but God is everything
i dont know, but God knows
i am unable, but God is able
i believe and i believe.
God is God, from everlasting to everlasting.
i believe it will all come to past and i am certain i have so many things i can learn. i think i know but actually i dont know; i think i see the unseen but actually the unseen is unseen to me. i am but a small small small thing. yet a big thing. who understands the irony of all things, except the one who created it?
"For who is Lord but the Lord?Who is God except our God?The highest. The most good.The most mighty.The most omnipotent.The most merciful, yet most just.The most hidden, yet most present.The most beautiful, yet strongest.The stationary, yet incomprehensible constant.You cannot change, yet You change everything.You are never new, yet never old.You make all things new, yet conquer the proud with old age before they know of its approach.You are ever working, yet ever at rest.You are still gathering, yet You lack nothing.You are still supporting, filling and overspreading; still creating, nourishing and maturing; still seeking, although You have all things.You love without yearning,are jealous without bitterness;share our regret without self-reproach;express anger without losing serenity.When all others fail to finish what they propose, Your purpose remain unchanged.You receive what You found yet had never lost.You are never in need yet rejoice in what You gain.You never covet yet exact excessive payments, so that You may owe.Ye who has anything that is not already Yours?You pay debts when You owe nothing,but in remitting debts You lose nothing."(taken from The Confessions of St. Augustine
modern english version)
i dont understand, yet i understand one thing -that i understand
nothing.
i am very small, yet God placed an infinity in my heart that only He can fill.
i never felt that i have anything more, than now when i feel that i have nothing.
i am zero, God is Hero.
0 had their say | have yours?
