Belief is No More Than a Simple Matter of Choice
Belief is incredibly powerful. It can do so much good. Belief in positive things can change our lives, right down to our character.
I wish I believed more.
I don’t know that this feeling ever goes away.
Whether it’s belief in ourselves, a bright future, our loved ones, and even God, we all wish we could believe more.
As a boy, sitting in church I remember listening to people speak at the pulpit. I often heard phrases like:
“I KNOW that God answers prayers”
“I KNOW that God lives”
This always confused me. I never understood how they could say that they knew these things.
Had they seen God? How did they KNOW that He was there?
As I got older and came to believe for myself, I caught myself saying the same things over the very same pulpit. I sometimes still make the same mistake, but thankfully, now I’ve learned better.
I don’t KNOW any of these things.
I don’t KNOW that my future is bright.
I don’t KNOW that I will improve my financial situation.
I don’t KNOW that God lives and answers prayers. I have never seen Him.
