As a small child, I loved Jesus and did not question my relationship with Him. My faith was childlike because I was a child. This childlike faith was apparent until I was in my late teens. As a teenager, I became a questioner. However, this adult personality characteristic separated me from my childlike relationship with God and Jesus for many years.
I want to know "Why?" about everything that crosses my path. As a life long learner, this is not a bad quality to have, BUT as a lover of Christ it kept me separated from HIM.
Faith means to trust without proof. Faith in God and Jesus requires trust without proof. For a questioner like myself, this was a hard concept to accept after I left my childhood behind.
Today, I have quit questioning God and Jesus. How did I do this you ask? I made three decisions:
1. God is good and Satan is bad. God is in heaven - Satan is on earth.
2. I am a servant of God - I am a wrench in the Lord's toolbox - I want to do his will, not mine.
3. No matter what happens, I trust God for a positive outcome.These three decisions have simplified my life, have kept me on God's path, and have deepened my relationship with Him.
