"Faith never knows where it is being led, but it loves and knows the One Who is leading. It is a life of Faith, not of intellect and reason, but a life of knowing Who makes us "go." The root of faith is the knowledge of a Person."
I have mentioned this before, but these readings keep bringing me back to an unsure feeling in my life that I do not know the "One who is leading".
I know that creation is a statement by God of who He is. I am awed by the immensity of the universe as I see the pictures of what is out there. I am also in awe when I look at the intricacy of the smallest flower or contemplate the human body, but I do not want to know the cosmos, I want to know the One who did it all.
I have a friend who, when he has his devotion time with God, pulls out a chair and talks to God in that chair. If I pulled out a chair I would just be talking to the chair. Is there anything that I can do to make that relationship come to pass, or at least be real to me, or is it all up to God, in His time.
My belief is in God and in His Son Jesus Christ, and I trust in no other. But do I really believe when I cannot feel close to that Person? I feel a disconnect between my belief and my experience, and I want to put it all together. Am I alone in this situation?
"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for, being convinced of what we do not see"(Heb. 11:1).
I really need help today......
