The True Man

The true man trusts in a strength that is not his, and which he does not feel, does not even always desire.

- George MacDonald

It inspires me to think that even when I do not desire God, it doesn't mean that He's given up on me. It doesn't even mean that I am lost or hopeless. This quote gives me courage to think that even when I don't feel Him, I can still trust in Him. It helps to think back on the times that I felt Him at his strongest, to think back on the times in my life where I know I could not have survived without feeling His strength. I want to be the true man. I know that there is a power greater than my own that has made my endurance through the most difficult of circumstances possible. I am in a lonely place, and things look and feel horrible the moment that I write this. The good is that He is there, and He is moving in some way, as of now, unseen. I have confidence that He will reveal His plan to me as He sees fit, and will give me feelings and desire for Him and His will at 'divine intervals', not based on my moods. My prayer is to be true to Him, as He is true to me - Amen.
