No matter
how overwhelming the evidence may be, we all ultimately choose to believe (or
disbelieve). Evidence may be compelling,
but it may never be dispositive. And so,
even in the face of countless miracles surrounding us on a daily basis, we can
still choose to disbelieve and even when we may be in a desert of spirituality
we may choose to believe.
I have
gone through just such an experience in my life. I have been blessed throughout my life to
have experienced a number of miracles, and just like the people in these
chapters I reached a point where I was able to lie to myself sufficient to
weaken and damage my testimony. The things
that I had seen and experienced, though I never lost sight of them as true, yet
I still managed to struggle with my faith because of my weakness.
For
whatever reason, the Lord didn’t let go of me through this perilous time. And He has helped me, step by step, to regain
the testimony that I had lost and strengthen it beyond what it once was. But I now have a much greater understanding
of the truth that merely seeing the miracles (or even experiencing themselves)
is not sufficient to convert.
