FAITH

Early in my faith journey, I remember many times when I went to God, usually in moments of despair, and prayed to Him.

I would beg Him to show me a sign, to speak to me, anything that would make me more confident that He was listening.

Nothing seemed to work, and in my frustration, I would vent and be angry with God.

Does this sound familiar to any of you? I am sure I am not the only one.

In the early Testament and often in our lives, God usually appears as mysterious to His children, especially remaining obscure for unbelievers.

This was certainly true for me when I was younger, and it is still difficult to see and appreciate how God is with me and working through me.

The harder I looked for clues, the further they appeared.

To this day, for believers, His depth and height surpass our knowledge.

Though God’s everlasting presence and love were evident from the beginning, this mystery was once and for all united through Christ.

Christ’s life and sacrifice solved any mystery that may have been before and constantly reminded me that God is with me, even if I refuse to see Him.
