I got to thinking the other day of how it is with me in this the 81st year of my life.

Of how it is that I began to talk before I could read, and walk before I could run.

I remember the day I puckered my lips and made funny little sounds I called a whistle before I could ever make a tune.

All my life, I have been doing things before I completely understood or mastered what I was doing.

It is the same with my faith. When I pray to my Lord, I don’t think about what my theology professor had to say in Seminary class, or the long complicated theological discussions we had, rather I seek to feel what God is speaking to my heart.

When I pray to my Creator I don’t understand exactly where I stand in His scheme of things, except that by His grace I am saved.

What I am really saying is that even as I know God, you know God. I may have read more books than some of you (but not more than many of you my ministerial friends who are reading this), listened to more teachers, written more sermons on the subject, but as I know Him with my heart, so too do you with your heart.

I may still be able to read some Greek and even stumble over some Hebrew, but what counts is not how great a scholar I am. Rather, what counts, is how good a Christian I am in accepting his forgiveness and becoming a better person out of a sense of overwhelming gratitude.

I know this. Each of us stands on a shore and gazes across an uncharted sea. It is called life - a life that began with God, ends with God, and then, with the promise of eternity, continues with God.
