Man, this week has just worn me out. I am exhausted! And its Friday and I’m doing homework already.

Yesterday I had a very intense conversation with someone about beliefs, a really great one. It was one of those moments that makes you realize that God had designed each minute of the day so that the two of you would end up in the exact spot at the same time with 15 minutes to talk alone. Anyway, the main premise of our talk was the final question I posed to her, and I think its, well I know, its something that everyone should push themselves with. I asked her if she really, truly knew that what she believed is true. Absolutely true. I asked if there is any doubt in her heart, and did she believe that even if no one else believed what she did, would she still know that it was true. Did she know?

I know that a lot of believers in different faiths, and certainly Christianity as well, throw those words around, and easily look at a question like that and throw out a, “Yes, I do. Yes I know what I believe is true.” But, have you really ever sat up late at night when you are absolutely feeling alone, and fought it out inside, with all you’ve heard telling you its not true, and all the fears you’ve had in your life, and dug deep to honestly answer to God, “Yes. I believe you.”

Think about it.
