I believe in the sun even when it is not shining.
I believe in love even when feeling it not.
I believe in God even when He is silent.
No matter how dark the night, how dense the clouds, or how total the eclipse, the sun is still at the center of our solar system, shining. So is God. Even though we can't see evidence of him through a miraculous sign or hear guidance from him through a prophetic voice, he is still there, in the center of all things. And he is still shining!
(These words were taken from Ken Gire's excellent book, The North Face of God)
Though you have not seen Him, you love Him; and even though you do not see Him now, you believe in Him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy!!!!!

ReplyDeleteamen!
ReplyDeleteGreat example! He never moves from us, only we move away from Him!
ReplyDeleteThat inscription so speaks to us! Thanks for posting it. The time will come if it hasn't already, when we will have to trust God in desparate situations. We must choose to trust.
ReplyDeleteGreat post, Clif. He never leaves us or forsakes us.

ReplyDeleteI believe our heavenly Father loves it when we believe Him in the silence and stand in faith!

What can separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded .....nothing shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus.

ReplyDeleteI had that poem on my kitchen wall and I loved it. My daughter had it now on hers because she loved it too. Thanks for bringing it to me again.
