What You Know Over What You Feel

At no time in life are we truly alone. Even when no people are present, God is there. Today during a particularly difficult moment, I remember feeling completely forsaken. Now, while everyone wants me to believe that I'm too mature in Christ to feel that way, I believe it was purpose even in that moment and that emotion, as suffocating as it was.

In those moments when we feel alone, we have a choice to make. Thankfully, I was not even physically alone going through my moment. I had a visible person and audible voice of reason. Still, I had to make a decision to either throw away everything that I knew to embrace all that I felt or trust what I know to be true and allow the peace of that knowledge to soothe me.

At some point in your faith, in fact many times on your journey of faith, you'll have to believe when all the odds go against your belief. There is no way to escape it. But if you face down the emotions that suffocate and the gloomy thoughts that plague, all that is left is God's peace. I speak that to you tonight and every night for the rest of your life. God bless and thanks for being faithful readers here at blog.
