I, indirectly, got called an f***ing moron today...

I'm tired, and I'm having one of those days where I just can't be bothered.
There's a lot of work that I should be doing, but I really just don't want to.

I feel lonely today.
And a little doubtful.

And I'm not sure what I'm doing here.

But I'll press on. And keep faith.
For faith is being sure of what I hope for, and certain of what I do not see.
I'm hoping for the future He has for me. I hoping this is all what He says it is.
I am certain, or I will try to be - though I do not see.
Because the most important things in life are the things we can't see.

I can't see the love that I feel for my family and my friends, but I can feel it. It's important, and it keeps me alive.
I can't feel the oxygen in the air. But I know I breathe it in. It's important. And it keeps me alive.
Even when there's no clock around to tell me, I know time exists. But I can't see it, I can't necessarily feel it.

I have enough reason to believe that these three things are real.
Yet I have not seen any of them. Have you?

And I can't see God. Not yet.
But for the most part, I can feel Him.
And when I can't feel Him, it doesn't mean He's not there.
'I've learnt to reach out just the same.'

For I believe that God is who He says He is.
He is always with me. He is enough. He is mighty to save. He is able. He is compassionate. He is love. He is.

The Bible may just seem like an old book. But it is full of truth, that not only was true once upon a time, it continues to be true. Even today.

Either God is the God of all things, or He is not God at all.
God, by nature of being 'God' can not lie, and can not fall short of anything He claims to be. If He did, He would cease to be God.

God (god)
- n
1. theol The sole Supreme Being, eternal, spiritual and transcendent, who is the creator and ruler of all, and is infinite in all attributes...


When people say Christians are fools (or a 'f***ing morons') for believing in a higher power, for believing that there is a God that created all things, I can't help but think, 'Really? You think we're fools?'

OK so say there was no God then, we would rely on the assumption that from nothing, the earth and everything in it, became what it is now, by random chance, and for no apparent reason.

Is that what we should believe?!!

Surely this is harder to believe, than believing in some form of higher power or creator.
You can't possibly call me a fool!
I may not have it all right, but God, whatever and whoever He is, exists.
I know it.

And I know there's more to the story, but for now I'm leaving it there.

I pray that the people I love will understand this, one day, before it's too late.
I pray that I'm a good example, that I will be evidence enough, and that I won't give in to pride and not use every opportunity I can to help them see.
I pray that open eyes, would not just be open, but they would also be able to see.

Will truth prevail?
I believe so.

Praise be to God.
