Spiritual Struggle
He asks if I've given my heart to Jesus – I stand tongue-tied, flustered.
It's not that I'm an atheist – at least, not on a good day.
Nor do I rebelliously refuse religion because it misaligns with my “morals.”
I believe in Creator God, His Righteousness and Mercy,
His Hand in everything, suffusing life with purpose –
Otherwise, I would be a nihilist. I cling to faith, and yet…
Jesus. Who is He? Do I worship a Man? Isn't that idolatry?
Can someone die in my place? Didn't Jeremiah say “Every man's sins are his own?”
Did He ever claim to be God Incarnate? Did he really rise again?
Questions hold me back – I'll wait another day
Afraid to take the risk of blaspheming the One who Exists
By believing He has a Son who may never have existed.
Yet it might be too late – I shouldn't linger forever on fences
Avoiding theological discussions by sinking into trivialities.
Someday, I may give my heart to Jesus.
In the meantime, I'll strive for devotion to God Himself.
