I Choose to Trust the God I Cannot See (Paul & Jacinda Stetler)

Описание: "Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus, just to take Him at His Word."

Want [lack] of faith weakens God. Pardon the word, but want of faith puts bolt and bar against God's grace. Mark says God could not do many works for the people's unbelief. The father of the demoniac said to Christ, "If thou canst do." Christ said to him, "If thou canst believe." —Clerk
For what ends, then, does God permit spiritual heaviness to befall so many of his children? The apostle gives a plain and direct answer to this question. "These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold--though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world." (I Peter 1:7). —John Wesley

O Lord, may I believe in the darkness
When all hope is vanished,
When waves beat with fury
And no star lights my sky.
May I believe without
Feeling or knowing or proving
Till one shiny moment when
You shatter the darkness
And all I believed for
Is suddenly mine.
