There are truths about God which we are not able to understand, to even hear, without His working something of a change in us first. Jesus told the disciples after He had said that He was going away and they were distressed, that there were words that He could not say to them yet, because they could not hear them. But when the Spirit of truth comes, He will lead them into all truth. We are fallen creatures with our minds and our hearts darkened, our eyes blinded and our ears stopped. Each of these God has to heal us from, not so we can become learned, but so we can know God, can see and hear and understand and most of all love Him. When we first come to Jesus, we just are not able to apprehend all that God is, and in truth we can only see a very little. But that seed of faith is the beginning, and if we seek Him, He will lead us to find, and if we knock, He will open the doors of heaven that we can be changed into His people, those who know Him.

Thankyou for your words here.
I have thought about this post and why there was some misunderstanding, simply put, I put to much of myself in it. Rather than, if witnessing ,it is the message that needs to be clear.
The simple message of this post is that God Our Father is purifying His gift of faith in all his children.
Lighthouse John said it well, to often we base our walk in feelings.
This is not a time to dispair, but a gift.
God Our Father wants the faith He is Giving us to be made perfect in Jesus.
Purified as like Gold in fire.
Thankyou all so much, for your thoughts and witness in this.
In Jesus, God bless.
