faith. everyday.

“Sometimes people think that faith is knowing something is true beyond any doubt whatsoever, and so they try to prove faith through empirical evidence,” Lynn Anderson said. “But that’s the wrong approach.”

He gestured toward the coin. “You can see and touch that quarter, so you don’t need faith. God, for his own reasons, has not subjected himself to that kind of proof.”

Coments… Think “Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God”-Jesus Christ, somewere in the fifth chapter of the Gospel according to Matthew. Think of your Baptisim-if you have been Baptized- washing over you capturing the cleaness we have in Christ. The elements of bread and wine we take in communion once a month or so. The wine representing the precious blood of our Lord and savoir Jesus Christ. Spilt on our behalf for our justification, our purification before God. God’s revelation is full of the reality for us to be pure. Jesus calls those who strive for that purity as those who see God. I think beacause when we can’t be chasing after sexual desires and God at the ame time. When we chase our sexual desires we don’t see God. We see a perversion of what was meant to reveal God. I have commited to remain pure with the help of my Lord. No matter how hard I have tried and am trying though, I will alwasy be dependent on the grace of Christ. When I fall it would be wise for me to take opertunity of this grace to “get back up again” and serve God without guilt. Peace.
