My friend suggested what then seemed a novel idea.
He said,
"Why don't you choose your own conception of God?"

That statement hit me hard.
It melted the icy intellectual mountain in whose shadow I had lived and shivered many years.
I stood in the sunlight at last.

It was only a matter of being willing to believe
in a Power greater than myself.
Nothing more was required of me to make my beginning.
I saw that growth could start from that point.
Upon a foundation of complete willingness I might build what I saw in my friend.
Would I have it? Of course I would!

Thus was I convinced that God
is concerned with us humans when we want Him enough.
At long last I saw, I felt, I believed.
Scales of pride and prejudice fell from my eyes.
A new world came into view.

Thought to Ponder....

Only those who see the invisible can accomplish the impossible.
