SIMPLE FAITH - by Lisa
Either you believe it or you don't. It's as simple as that. Faith, that is. But in today's world, such a mindset doesn't always cut it. Is your faith scientific? Is it logical? Can it be proved? Is it consistent with archaeological findings? But in the end, do these questions really matter?
I grew up in a non-Christian family where faith, if it existed at all, had to make sense. When I accepted Christ at a relatively late age, the issue of provable faith slowly receded. The longer I walk with him, the more the eyes of my soul see that simple faith is all that is needed.
Simple faith is knowing in the silent depths of your being that Christ is real. There is no need to question. No need to explain inconsistencies. No need to prove a case. All that is needed is simply and deeply knowing God. Either you believe it or you don't.
Perhaps this is the great secret of devout men and women over the centuries. A deep faith that simply knows and loves God, no questions asked. Such a person truly rests in God and the peace beyond understanding. May I rest there also. Amen.
Blessings,
Lisa
