Trusting in the Unknown
Many of us struggle with the weight of judgment—of others, of ourselves, of the world. We want answers: Who is right? Who is wrong? We seek clarity to feel secure, yet this pursuit often divides us, leaving love as a distant afterthought. It’s no wonder religion, in its eagerness to define, has sometimes become a source of harm instead of healing. This is humanity’s shared challenge: the temptation to label, to control, to “know.”
But what if this very struggle is an invitation to something more profound? Imagine a world where faith isn’t about certainty but trust. Where instead of asking, “Who is good or bad?” we ask, “How can I love better?” True faith liberates us from the exhausting need to decide and places us in solidarity with the messy, beautiful reality of being human.
God’s call to avoid the tree of knowledge wasn’t a limitation—it was freedom from the burdens of ego and division. Today, let’s take a step toward that freedom. Pause the instinct to judge. Open your heart to life’s uncertainties. In that humility, you’ll find space for love to flourish. Faith was never about answers; it’s about living in trust and connection.
Going Deeper
Faith isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about trusting in the unknown. But why do we so often confuse certainty with belief?
For too long, faith has been tied to the need to define, categorize, and control. We’ve been taught that to have faith, we must have clear answers, firm boundaries, and moral judgments. But Jesus didn’t invite us into a world of easy answers—He called us into humility, surrender, and the willingness to love without knowing all the facts. Faith isn’t about certainty; it’s about trust in the midst of ambiguity.
What if faith could be simpler? What if, instead of holding on tightly to our judgments, we embraced the mystery of life and chose love over labels? This kind of faith opens our hearts to compassion and connection, not division.
Today, ask yourself: What would it look like to trust more and judge less? Let go of the need to know everything and allow love to guide you instead. In doing so, you’ll discover that faith isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about being open to the transformative power of love, no matter what we understand.
