I Surrender
“No,” the boy says.
“I can’t do it.”
“Do what?” the man says.
“I
Just
Can’t.”
“What can’t you do?” the man asks.
“I can’t.”
“I can’t believe
In
HIM!”
“How can you say that?” the man asks
“How could I not?” the boy responds
“You know, you don’t
know
Everything,”
The man says.
“How
Can
There be war?”
“How can there be hunger?”
“How can there be violence?”
“How can there be disease?”
“How can there be such suffering?”
“While God created us all,
He created both good and bad,
Evil and Goodness,
War and Love?”
“Is god bored?”
“Is he
Trying
To play a game?”
“Is life a game
Between HE and the Devil?”
“One falls for temptation
And the other
Falls
For Faith?”
“You know, life wouldn’t be as beautiful without the bad?”
The man says.
The boy responds, “You know for a man
Who told me I don’t know everything surely acts like he thinks he knows everything…”
Ha! “I’m simply questioning your questions.”
“Forgive me. Continue.”
“The boy continues…”
“Is God playing a game with the Devil?”
“ The Devil was an angel before becoming the Devil.”
“I thought God was all-knowing?” “Ha!”
“How could he possibly not see that coming?”
“Did God create the Devil?”
“Yet, it is true.” “We would not know good without bad.”
“And if it is both good and bad that make life beautiful,
Then does that mean murder is beautiful?”
“Yes, but that is horrific,” says the man
“And Love is breathtaking,” the boy says.
“But, but, why not make us all perfect?”
“Because we need this bad,” says the man.
“Why?”
“Life is so complicated,” says the boy.
“Truly,” says the man.
“There has to be a plan for it all!!” says the boy.
“A master plan!! I say!”
“Truly,” says the man.
“I do not know everything,” says the boy.
“I don’t know why people aren’t perfect and why there is evil in the world.”
“So I surrender.”
“I surrender to you, God. You. You must know more than I.”
“You must.”
“People don’t die for no reason.”
“There has to be a reason.”
“Why
Do some get to experience an ounce of pure love
More
Than others?”
“There has to be a reason why some get to smile more than others.”
“Why do some get to have more joyous moments
than others?”
“There has to be a reason why
Someone
Gets to be with their loved one
And have more better times.”
“There has to be a reason
Why
Some have seen treacherous things
And
Why some people haven’t…”
“I suppose we all have our own story.”
“But not all of us have the same lengths.”
“It is strange.”
“Are we all observers of this beautiful world?”
“Are we all
Here to live and learn?”
“But then why is it that some have a longer stay to observe?”
“Why do some get to learn more and love more and play more?”
“No.”
“There has to be a reason for it all.”
“God.”
“I surrender to you.”
Thought provoking.
Good , bad and the evil
