[Faith-talk] a distressing book

[Brandon A. Olivares]

Debby, I agree with this. I believe that Truth is not so much about a set of facts, but it’s about your relationship with the Infinite, whatever you choose to call it. If you simply know “facts” but have no heart-based relationship, then it means nothing. I am reminded of this verse:

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing. (1 Corinthians 13:1-3)

Of course it is my opinion that any religion or spiritual path can bring us to this place of infinite Love.

I think that's why we should keep growing in our faith, not just cerebrally but in relationship with the Lord.  It isn't all about what I know in my head, it's where my heart is.  And sometimes my heart seems hard and distant, and then God reaches out and touches me in some tiny way, and I know that I love Him and He loves me still, and all is not lost.    Blessings,    Debby and Neena
