This was in no way, shape, or form a scientific poll. My intent was to come up with an idea for a Challenge Article. The end result was, to me, impressive.
The non-Christian subject’s answers were generally endless workdays, endless cold weather, etc. The Christian subject’s answers were endless is our God (the majority) or endless love of God. By our faith, we are connected. Is it any wonder that prayer works?
The positive thinking of Christians is quite evident in the results. That beautiful faith was in their voices as they gave their replies without a hint of hesitation. The others took a few seconds to reply. I know a statistician would tear this apart, but the wonder, on my part, remains.
The LORD reigns, he is robed in majesty;
the LORD is robed in majesty and armed with strength;
indeed, the world is established, firm and secure. Your throne was established long ago;
you are from all eternity.
The seas have lifted up, LORD,
the seas have lifted up their voice;
the seas have lifted up their pounding waves.
Mightier than the thunder of the great waters,
mightier than the breakers of the sea—
the LORD on high is mighty.
Your statutes, LORD, stand firm;
holiness adorns your house
for endless days.
(Psalm 93 NIV)
Our Father is without end. He is endless in his love. He is, was, and forever shall be. When we spend our days in his divine spirit, we become more like him. The love he fills us with begins to reflect outward to those searching for his love, his compassion, his forgiveness. We need faith.
Find that faith by focusing in prayer on his endless love. By experiencing his endless love, we begin to desire the faith needed to be forgiven. The true meaning of faith can only be known by experiencing that which only faith can bring. Pray to know our Father’s endless love, and you shall have many experiences such as that.
