To see His face...

This is one of my favorite pictures. The reason is because it shows a child looking into the eyes of the Savior. It makes me think of how the child isn't looking away in shame or fear. I believe that God would have us have confidence in ourselves as well as Him. We can feel confident when we know deep down if how we are living is the right way to live, without the slightest hint of excuse or justification to ourselves. Some people think God is interested in reiterating His majesty and supreme authority over all of His children. I would think that all of those attributes in Him would speak for themselves in His glory. I believe He is concerned with saving and helping His children, us, to progress as far as we are willing.

Faith


I'm setting up a new blog to answer questions about the unseen, namely where we came from, why we're here, and where are we going. I plan on keeping it clean and posts will be censored to reflect unoffensive language or themes. All discussions that maintain an honest and respectful attitude will be allowed.

With that introduction, I would like to just state something that I read about today: faith. If faith is simply the evidence of things unseen, then we all use faith in every action we perform. We trust that our efforts will be rewarded with desired and sought after results. This is why we act in the first place.
