Seeking Answers

from God

Some things have no obvious answers. They just present themselves with more questions. In fact, they leave you a bit dumbfounded. Like this plant.

I asked myself, "Why would God create such a plant?" It is such a curious but lovely plant. It is delicate and intricate...the way each individual small birdlike part, is hanging on to its mother's sturdy stem, drawing life from it.

I further wanted to know, "Why would God make a plant in the image of a hummingbird?"

Then I questioned "Which one did He create first?"

"Is there a message there?"

"What lesson does He want me to learn from this?"

"Did he love the plant/hummingbird so very much that He gave each a dual place in His creation?"

"Or did He love us so very much that He doesn't want us to miss out on a lesson from nature?

I am confounded, perplexed, but I ponder on and want to solve this mystery. I need to know. "I want to hear the voice of God in this"...I must seek those answers. But I am finding more questions...
