All Or Nothing

Posted on Jan 09, 2008 under Faith |

You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.

Jeremiah 29:13

Have you ever wondered why you don’t feel some sort overpowering joy when you think of God? I used to wonder that all the time. I knew people who seemed to be overcome with emotion at the thought of Jesus. I was jealous of their faith and spiritual life. I thought that God had touched them in a way that I just couldn’t fathom.

It took many years and much prayer to realize that what I was seeing in others wasn’t “more” than what I had, but was simply different. My love of Christ and my faith in God was just as real as anyone’s. It didn’t matter that my own faith was more quiet and relaxed; what mattered was that God could look in my heart and know that I was sincere in my love for Him.

We much each set our on our journey to seek God, knowing that He will find us and be for each of us just what we need. God will look into my heart and know that despite the mistakes I make, my desire is to please Him. God knows the truth in my heart. And in yours.

    I agree. Making a show of faith is not the same as faith.
