Love Remains

"Lord I believe, help my unbelief".  Jeff set out to offer proof of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, which I mentioned here a couple of posts earlier; I have never doubted that Christ suffered, died and resurrected. Never. And yet I lack faith - I seek proof, I ask exhaustive questions and I trifle the pointless things. 


There is a quote from Angels and Demons that I believe epitomizes ... well, me. It is where Robert Langdon is speaking with the Carmerlengo.
Camerlengo Patrick McKenna: . Do you believe in God, sir? 
Robert Langdon: Father, I simply believe that religion...
Camerlengo Patrick McKenna: I did not ask if you believe what man says about God. I asked if you believe in God.
Robert Langdon: I'm an academic. My mind tells me I will never understand God.
Camerlengo Patrick McKenna: And your heart?
Robert Langdon: Tells me I'm not meant to. Faith is a gift that I have yet to receive
Tonight I heard the voice of Christ while at True North and beyond that, on the drive home in a song on KLove.



Paul Colman - The One Thing
From the album Let It Go


Here I am
In a river of questions
Can I pour my heart out to a listening ear?
I see this life
It’s valley’s and mountains
And I think of all the roads that brought me here
Oh that brought me here

I’ve questioned my reasons
The life I’m living
I’ve questioned my ability t
To judge wrong from right
I’ve questioned all the things
that I’ve ever called certain
My race, my religion, my country, my mind

Chorus:
But the one thing I don’t question is You
You really love me like you say you do
Yea the one thing I don’t question is You
You really love me like you say you do
Hold me Hold me
So Hold me

Well I’ve questioned my significance
Meaning and relevance
Does the work I’m doing really matter at all?
Well I’ve questioned my friendships
Alliance, dependence
Who will still be here when I fall?

Chorus: (2x’s)

Only one thing doesn’t change
Only one thing stays the same
All I know at the end of the day is your love remains

Chorus: (2x’s)


While I am not an academic I am forever on a quest, a student of philosophy and theology.  "Lord I believe, help my unbelief" was my daily mantra. 


This evening I have received the gift of faith.
