Without Faith It Is Impossible To ...
WITHOUT FAITH IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO Please Me. This may seem obvious, but there are actually many people who try to approach Me without truly believing I exist. Some people simply want to cover all their bases, so they toss up an occasional prayer to Me - just in case I might really exist and someday be their Judge. Others cry out to Me at times of extreme distress and then forget about Me when the crises is over. This is not genuine faith, and it does not please Me at all. Faith that pleases Me is much more substantial. It perceives as real fact what is not revealed to the senses.
I enjoy rewarding those who earnestly seek Me. I don't expect perfection in your search for Me, because I remember you are dust. I do, however, rejoice in your seeking Me persistently, day in and day out. This is extremely pleasing to Me, and I reward you in numerous ways: I whet your appetite to know Me ever more intimately. I gradually change the desires of your heart so they line up more and more with the contents of My heart. When you are going through tough times, I pour out upon you tender, overflowing Love. As you open your heart to receive this Love-flow, you are ravishingly pleasingly to Me.
- Jesus
(Jesus Lives / Sarah Young)
