My Thoughts on Faith

Faith: what you believe to be true about God.

This is what faith really is in Hebrew. So I offer you this analogy:

Think of it this way. If you're like, "Hey I would like friends" but you think "Well, they better come to me, cause I'm not coming to them" how many friends are you going to make? None.


God is a bit different, as He is willing to come to us on a daily basis, and most definitely does. However, we tend to blame our deficient communication with God on Him and not on ourselves. Ever the skeptics, we humans sure enjoy placing blame on anyone or anything but ourselves.

So instead of shouting from the hill tops that God is not real, how about having a conversation with Him or offering yourself to Him and saying, "Hey, just talk to me. I want to know that you are real." It truly depends on your attitude. If someone puts a hundred dollars in your face and you don't want to believe it is there, you won't believe it is there. But if you're open to the possibility of a hundred dollars being in front of your face, then you will start to see things a bit more clearly.
