From Journal Entry June 30, 2012
Dear Sir or Madam,
Ask yourself do you trust God? Do you think by being faithful to your wife, God will reward you? Or by going to church every Sunday, God will keep your family safe? This God you've created is a make believe God that you like because He makes your world feel safe and there are no uncertainties.
But what about when uncertainties do happen? What then? Is God punishing you when you find out your wife is dying of cancer or when your child dies in a car accident? Your logic mind says, I've said my prayers everyday and given money to the church, why me? These things are only suppose to happen to bad people.
We want a rational God to suit our needs. In truth we don't trust God. If we did we'd surrender our need to understand the horrific events in our lives. We would instead have faith that God has a purpose behind them. It is hard to surrender our will to His. But when you do you open the door for divine revelation and experience God firsthand. And the first encounter with God will drown away all doubt. You've made a giant leap from knowledge of God to the experience of God. And that, my friend, is the hardest step to take on your spiritual journey.
Will you plunge into the darkness of uncertainties to get to God as He really is? Or will you let fear rule your life with a false security net?
God Bless,
Madison Michelle
