I have come to realize that we who know our God and Savior can never prove Him or justify Him to those who choose not to see Him. We are called ignorant because we believe in the unseen and unprovable. There are those of us that believe in miraculous healing and those of us that believe in demonic possession. We may have even experienced these things in our own lives in some tangible way. We are known as fools in this world that we live in and some of us can not handle the pain that this inevitably brings.
We must stop trying to prove our God with the scriptures and logic, because we can not prove our God, not to someone whose blatant refusal to see Him keeps him blind; not to someone who does not accept His Word as truth. We must live our faith by being what our Lord has called us to be. Our faith is not one of words…it can never be so. Ours is a faith of action and of dedication. Even the blind can see this, even the deaf can hear this. We must be patient and understanding with those who do not know God, even when they try and explain Him away–because we have been there ourselves. We must be kind to those who choose to ignore the signs around them–because we have done so ourselves.
We have all denied our God in some way, this is sin. And when we chose to invite our savior into our hearts to lead and guide us we admitted that we were sinners…all of us. So we must be forgiving to those who judge us, because more often than not we have already judged them.
We are a watched people, Oh sinning God followers. Our lives are scrutinized. We must be on our guards and act like the called and chosen and loved servants that we are. We must act like children of God and love those around us that hate us…because we have also hated children of God.
