This morning, so many ends began to meet in my mind and heart, and in the process connected the two. I don't know how to explain it, but for quite awhile, the truth I've been meditating on, the truth I've been hoping will sustain me has been intellectual. My felt faith has been anything but robust and intuitive. But this morning, that changed for a few moments and I feel emboldened, like a glimpse into eternity...I have confidence in God's providential knowledge of all events, all physical, spiritual movements "as though they occur all at once." I don't fear the future of my self or my loved ones because the future has occurred, is occurring in the mind of God, somehow. Because I sensed his love this morning, I'm not afraid.
I've taken comfort in God's call for us to be faithful. Reassurance of his forgiveness and his presence gives me confidence that he'll teach us faithfulness.
