The Value of Questions

Hi there,

I pray that you are well.

As I was walking this morning--a little brisk I might add--an unusual thought came into my mind. The thought was "Questions are valuable." A little strange, actually a lot strange for me. I can remember in school when the teacher was asking questions, I literally tried to hide behind my desk. Really!

Gratefully I have grown to love questions. I know, it's about time. Questions are opportunities to grow. They are opportunities to declare valuable information and on and on. Where would we be without questions? I guess I'd still be trying to hide behind my desk. LOL.

Jesus liked to ask questions.....a couple come to mind that are dandies for those of us who desire to move on........"Whom do men say that I am?" How effective would we be if we couldn't verbally paint a picture of our Saviour.and His sinless life and vicarious death?

How about "Do you love me?" Should our love for Him be obvious......? Of course! Well, is it? Simon Peter struggled a bit with his answer, and I certainly have struggled myself....maybe not with my words, but with my attitude or action. I don't doubt your love for Him.....ask Him for opportunities to put your love for Him on display. I'll join you.
