I was talking with a few people the other day about hope and hurt and how to live when you do not feel something. Specifically, how do you forgive yourself so God can forgive you and how do you let someone else love you when you have trouble loving yourself. The answer we came to was: You don't. You let God love you even if you cannot. You let God forgive you even if you cannot forgive yourself. We need to learn to live in God's truth whether we feel it or not.
So many people think faith is believing what you understand. I think real faith is believing even when you do not understand. To trust God when it doesn't make sense is real faith. To say you do not understand how this hurt can turn out for good and yet to still follow God is the kind of faith God is looking for.
I hope you can have enough faith to believe God today. A faith that goes beyond what you feel and know.
