Whatever Comes

Sunset Rays

"Asking is not doubting. It is trusting."

"It takes more faith to ask than it takes to fear the asking. It takes faith to be ready for whatever comes, and faith to persevere with more questions if the answer is not understood. Asking an honest question means being ready to change in response to the answer, and short of martyrdom, change may be the ultimate act of faith."

Written in the spirit of Amy Carmichael who wrote,

"There is nothing in this book (or in my case, blog) that might not happen anywhere, and has not happened over and over again in the lives of other children of our Father's house. But there are many depressing influences in the world, and faith is often sorely tried, and sometimes the living God seems so distant that even the least to whom He is a very Present Help cannot withold their witness. And as we have been heartened by the stories of others, we take courage to ask that our story in its turn may hearten our comrades on their battle-fields."
(From the preface to "Windows.")
