Opting for Despair

We long for God but don't believe He exists. We're under water, running out of air, but don't swim to the top. To do so would be to admit that air is.

Yes, we long for that which we do not believe exists. For the loss of childlike faith we embrace a loneliness that leads to despair.

Or, we assent to the existence of God but do not believe He has the ability or the desire to involve Himself in our lives. So we accommodate an unnecessary vacuum in our souls.

Or we can choose to breath deeply of the breath of God.

"Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you," declares the LORD. (Jeremiah 29)
