Give me a Mystery and watch as I search it out to find you…

Do you ever wish that there was a mystery there for you to solve. I do all the time. Like my favorite movies of all time were movies where nothing was adding up and you needed to try to figure out how exactly this whole thing worked together. One of the best of all time, if not the best was the “Usual Suspects”. Through the whole movie there was mystery but it was underlined. Sometimes the greatest mysteries are things that lie under the surface. When we realize this there starts to be endless mysteries for us to look into. Why does my wife do things the way she does? Why does she get upset when I do one thing but then doesn’t when I do something that usually would be far more rude. Why does that person that sits beside you always make fun of you or bully you. Or why do you always bully that person or make fun of them. So many things in this world are complete mysteries, they have no glaring answer or noticeable solution they just are the way they are.I’ve found that to solve mysteries we must rarely take anything at face value. The odd time things are exactly the way they look but often we need to look deeper, investigate. Pray, seek, find what the answer to the mysteries are.Are you ever scared of the mysteries?I am. Often we don’t want to know why we or others do things the way they/we do. It seems easier to think that the person that is a jerk to you is just a jerk and isn’t that way because they get bullied by their father, or have been neglected since childhood. Then how do we hold the sweet sweet feeling of offense. I don’t even want to look within myself to see those things. Why do I act that way?Is it past hurts that I need to let go of, is it something that I need to ask forgiveness for because it’s unfounded? That hurts and it scares me, I don’t like that idea… do you?No one wants to be introspective and find out that really it’s their fault, or even to have to pull up past hurts to realize where theses Mysteries come from. Maybe we should all be sleuths trying to find the answer to the mysteries around us… maybe that is what God asks us to do. The old cliche “don’t judge a book by it’s cover” becomes very real and maybe being that real is a little to much for us, that is why we have stopped searching the mystery of the soul and began the beautification of the face…I just love a good mystery…Give me a Mystery and watch as I search it out to find you…
