A young lady came into the office with tears streaming down her face asking: "How do I know God?" All my friends out there talking about God and that I can know God, but I don't feel it. Faith and feeling are two different things. Faith is trusting God, our heavenly Father and having the full confidence in His Word and promises. Faith is believing in the invisible God who has loved me, created me in His image, and he has manifested Himself in the person of Jesus Christ. Feeling is just the emotion that you have. It may be reliable, and it may not. God's Word is reliable and you can count on God's promises.
After talking and listening to her concerns, I asked her "Do you want to know God personally today? He can come into your heart right now if you ask and invite Him in." Surely she did invite Jesus to come into her heart to be her Lord and Savior. The rest is history. The peace, the calmness and the tranquility come into her soul and her body is resting in the midst of all the pain and turmoil and chaos, Jesus brings rest to her weary body and soul. The Holy Spirit revives her spirit and guides her into God's truth.
She is reading the Word and has found the Word of God helpful to her walk. The days ahead are still tough and the journey will not be easy and smooth, but she is not afraid any more. She knows that God is with her now. Emmanuel.
