Manna In The Wilderness

My friends,

Have you ever walked on smooth grass, knowing that they will not hurt you?

Have you ever tread on shallow waters, knowing that they will not drown you?

Have you ever touched white snow, knowing that they will not burn you?

Have you ever hear beautiful music, knowing that they will not weaken you?

And have you ever been in the midst of loved ones and companions, knowing that none will harm you?

Have you?  If you have, your faith is strong.

But,

Have you ever walked on sharp thorns, knowing you will not be hurt?

Have you ever tread on deep waters, knowing you will not be drowned?

Have you ever touched fierce fires, knowing you will not be burned?

Have you ever hear quarrels, knowing you will not be weakened?

And have you been in the midst of loneliness and desperation, knowing that the Lord Jesus Christ is with you always and forever?

Have you?  If you have, your faith is much stronger.

God is real, and He loves you, no matter who you are, no matter how you are.  For He sent his one and only Son to die for your sins, so that He may draw near to you.  Draw near to Him, trust Him, for He is God and He loves you just as you are.
