And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him. — Hebrews 11:6
All relationships are based on trust, and this is where God starts with us. He doesn’t want our money or our talent or all our hard work so much as He wants our trust.
Does God exist and does He reward? I think we all believe that in our heads. The delight of the Christian life is discovering God in all those places in our hearts that don’t know God.
That may seem strange to you, but there are in fact vast regions of our heart that do not yet believe. The disciples discovered this in the Garden of Gethsemane when they fled into the night bewildered, frightened, overwhelmed with sorrow. But when the Risen Lord met with them, He planted faith in their lives so deep that martyrdom itself could not drive it away.
May the Risen Lord meet with you today!
